JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 27th August Morning Shift - No. 14)

The reaction that occurs in a breath analyser, a device used to determine the alcohol level in a person's blood stream is

$$2{K_2}C{r_2}{O_7} + 8{H_2}S{O_4} + 3{C_2}{H_6}O \to 2C{r_2}{(S{O_4})_3} + 3{C_2}{H_4}{O_2} + 2{K_2}S{O_4} + 11{H_2}O$$

If the rate of appearance of Cr2(SO4)3 is 2.67 mol min$$-$$1 at a particular time, the rate of disappearance of C2H6O at the same time is _____________ mol min$$-$$1. (Nearest integer)
Answer
4

Explanation

$$\left( {{{Rate\,of\,disappearance\,of\,{C_2}{H_6}O} \over 3}} \right)$$

$$ = \left( {{{Rate\,of\,disappearance\,of\,C{r_2}{{(S{O_4})}_3}} \over 2}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow \left( {{{2.67\,mol/\min \, \times 3} \over 2}} \right) = $$ rate of disappearance of C2H6O.

$$\Rightarrow$$ Rate of disappearance of C2H6O = 4.005 mol/min.
