The instantaneous rate of disappearance of \(\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\)ion in the following reaction is \(2.28 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}\).
\(2 \mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}+10 \mathrm{I}^{-}+16 \mathrm{H}^{+} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}+5 \mathrm{I}_2 +8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
The rate of appearance of \(\mathrm{I}_2\) is \((x) \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s}\). The value of \(x\) is \(\qquad\) [Nearest integer]

(B) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \text {Rate of disappearance } & =\frac{-d\left[\mathrm{MnO}_4^{-}\right]}{d t} \\ & =2.28 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}\) From the reaction,…
