Question
Ethanol (C2H5OH) is oxidized to acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) by dichromate ions in acidic solution according to the following equation:
3 C2H5OH(aq) + Cr2O7 2-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) ® 3 CH3CHO(aq) + 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l)
If the concentration of Cr3+(aq) is increasing at a rate of 0.18 M s-1, at what rate is the concentration of CH3CHO(aq) changing?
A.
Increasing at 0.12 M s-1
B.✓ Correct
Increasing at 0.27 M s-1
C.
Decreasing at 0.12 M s-1
D.
Decreasing at 0.27 M s-1
