Consider the reaction 4HBr(g) + O2(g) ⟶2H2O(l) + 2Br2(g). What is the reaction rate for the depletion of HBr relative to that of O2? a) HBr will be consumed at a rate 4 times faster than the rate at which O2 is consumed. b) Cannot be determined. c) HBr will be consumed at a rate 1/4th that of the rate at which O2 is consumed. d) HBr will be consumed at the same rate at which O2 is consumed. e) HBr will be consumed at a rate 2 times faster than the rate at which O2 is consumed.
