In the contact process for the manufacture of sulfur trioxide,the reaction is $2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2SO_{3(g)}$. If the rate of reaction is given by $-\frac{d[O_2]}{dt} = 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$,what is the rate of disappearance of $SO_2$?

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-4} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^{-4} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$
  • D
    $7.5 \times 10^{-4} \, mol \, L^{-1} \, s^{-1}$
