The compound RX3 decomposes according to the equation

3RX3 → R + R2X3 + 3X2

In an experiment the following data were collected for the decomposition at 100°C. What is the average rate at which RX3 is disappearing over the entire experiment?


t(s) [RX3](mol L–1)


0 0.85


2 0.67


6 0.41


8 0.33


12 0.20


14 0.16

If you are given the compound RX3 and it decomposes according to the equation, 3RX3 → R + R2X3 + 3X2. The average rate at which RX3 is disappearing over the entire experiment is -0.0484 mol per liter per second. I used excel to solve for the equation given the data above.
