Options:
  • A $8 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}$
  • B $2 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}$
  • C $16 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}$
  • D $4 \mathrm{~mm} \min ^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $8 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}$
The increase in pressure shows the increase in conc. of $Z$. Rate of appearance of $Z=$

$$

\frac{120-100}{5}=4 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}

$$

Rate of disappearance of $\mathrm{X}_{2}=2 \times$ rate of appearance of $Z$ $=2 \times 4 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}=8 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~min}^{-1}$
