Answer: All of the statements are true.
Explanation:
(a) Considering the system mentioned in the equation:-
The sum of total moles in the flask will always be equal to 1 which leads to confirmation of this statement as for 60 secs= 0.16 mol A and 0.84 mol B
(b) 0<t< 20s, mole A got reduced from 1 mole to 0.54 moles while at 40s to 60s A got decreased from 0.30 moles to 0.16 moles.
0 to 20s is 0.46 (1 - 0.54 = 0.46)mol whereas,
40 to 60s is 0.14 (0.30-.16 = 0.14) mol
(0.46 > 0.14) mol leading this statement to be true as well.
(c) Average rate from t1 = 40 to t2 = 60 s is given by:
[tex]\delta moles/\delta time = 0.30-0.16/60-40 = 0.007 Mol/s[/tex] which is true as well
