Consider the following reaction in aqueous solution: 5Br-(aq) + BrO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq) →3Br2(aq) + 3H2O(l) If the rate of appearance of Br2(aq) at a particular moment during the reaction is 5.5x10-5M/s, what is the rate of disappearance of Br-(aq) at that moment?
5Br-(aq) + BrO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq) →3Br2(aq) + 3H2O(l)
rate = decreasing in concentration of reactants / time taken = increasing in concentration of product / time taken
