Nitrogen dioxide reacts with fluorine according to the balanced equation
2 NO₂(g) + F₂(g) → 2 NO₂F(g)
In a laboratory study, the rate of disappearance of F₂ is measured to be 0.015 mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹ at a particular moment.
(a) Calculate the instantaneous rate of disappearance of NO₂ in mol⋅L−1s−1.
(b) Calculate the instantaneous rate of appearance of NO₂F in mmol⋅L−1min−1.
(c) Based on your results, identify which of the three species exhibits the largest magnitude rate of concentration change at this instant, and justify your answer quantitatively.
