Here’s the solution:
The rate of the reaction is R
R = – 1/5 * (d*[Br2])/dt
The average rate of consumption of bromine is 1.76 * 10-4 M/s, therefore,
– d*[Br]/dt = 1.76 * 10-4 M/s
The average rate of formation of bromine equals:
1/5 * 1.76 * 10-4 M/s = 7.04*10-5 M/s
Answer: The rate of formation of Br2 (bromine gas) is 7.04*10-5 M/s
