what is the answer?
To determine the rate of production for sodium sulfate, we can use the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation.
From the balanced equation: 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts to produce 1 mol of Na2SO4.
Therefore, if the rate of reaction for H2SO4 is 1.60 mol/L·s, the rate of production for Na2SO4 will also be 1.60 mol/L·s.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 1.60 mol/L·s.
From the balanced equation: 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts to produce 1 mol of Na2SO4.
Therefore, if the rate of reaction for H2SO4 is 1.60 mol/L·s, the rate of production for Na2SO4 will also be 1.60 mol/L·s.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 1.60 mol/L·s.
are you sure?
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reconsider the stoichiometry of the reaction:
From the balanced equation: 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts to produce 1 mol of Na2SO4.
Since the rate of reaction for H2SO4 is 1.60 mol/L·s, the rate of production for Na2SO4 will also be 1.60 mol/L·s.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) 1.60 mol/L·s.
