Problem Details

Consider the following reaction and data:

H2 + 2ICl → 2HCl + I 2

Time (s)                I  2 concentration (M)

5                              1.11

15                             1.83

a. What is the average rate of formation of I 2? Express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units.

b. Based on your answer to Part a, what is the average rate of formation of HCl? Express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units.

c. Based on your answer to Part a or b, what is the average rate of change of H  2? Remember that reactant concentrations decrease over time.

Express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units.
