For a given chemical reaction
γ1A+γ2B→γ3C+γ4D
Concentration of C changes from 10mmoldm−3 to 20mmoldm−3 in 10 seconds. Rate of appearance of D is 1.5 times the rate of disappearance of B which is twice the rate of disappearance A. The rate of appearance of D has been experimentally determined to be 9mmoldm−3s−1. Therefore the rate of reaction is moldm−3s−1. (Nearest Integer)

Observe the following reactions at T(K) (I) A → products. (II) 5Br−(aq)+BrO3−(aq)+6H+(aq)→3Br2(aq)+3H2O(l) Both the reactions are started at 10.00 am . The rates of these reactions at 10.10 am are same. The value of −ΔtΔ[Br−] at 10.10 am is 2×10−4molL−1Min−1. The concentration of A at 10.10 am is 10−2molL−1. What is the first order rate constant (in min−1 ) of reaction I?
