Look at their coefficients
\(\sf -\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta [SO_3]}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Delta [SO_2]}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{\Delta [O_2]}{\Delta t}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What should I look for?

if their coefficients are the same, then their rate is the same.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's either A or B?
OpenStudy (aaronq):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think it's A
OpenStudy (aaronq):
look at their coefficients. I can't really tell you more without giving you the answer.

Isn't the coefficient 2?
OpenStudy (aaronq):
for \(SO_3\)? yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's A
OpenStudy (aaronq):
you're saying that the stoichiometric coefficient of \(O_2\) is also 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh, I don't know

Just look at the equation again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't understand how to figure that out
OpenStudy (aaronq):
you have \(\sf \color{red}2~SO_3\rightleftharpoons \color{red}2~SO_2+ \color{red}1~O_2\)
the numbers in red are the stoichiometric coefficients
