1. Chlorine dioxide reacts in basic water to form chlorite and chlorate according to the following chemical equation: $$2{\mathrm{ClO}}_2(\mathrm{aq})+2{\mathrm{OH}}^{?}(\mathrm{aq})?{\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{?}(\mathrm{aq})+{\mathrm{ClO}}_3^{?}(\mathrm{aq})+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})$$ Under a certain set of conditions, the initial rate of disappearance of chlorine dioxide was determined to be $$4.60\times 10^{?1}\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{s}$$. What is the initial rate of appearance of chlorite ion $$\left({\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{?}\right)$$under those same conditions? $$\begin{array}{l}5.75\times 10^{?2}\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{s}\\ 2.30\times 10^{?1}\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{s}\\ 9.20\times 10^{?1}\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{s}\\ 4.60\times 10^{?1}\mathrm{M}/\mathrm{s}\end{array}$$
