In a reaction carried out in a vessel with a volume of 0.5 liters, 3 moles of a substance were consumed in 5 minutes. Determine the average rate of the reaction in mol/(l·s).

📝 Detailed explanation
Rate = Δn / (V × Δt)Δn = 3 moles
V = 0.5 liters
Δt = 5 minutes = 300 seconds
Rate = 3 / (0.5 × 300) = 3 / 150 = 0.02.
