A chemist conducted a study of the decomposition of

A chemist conducted a study of the decomposition of phosphine gas, PH3 (g), into phosphorous gas, P4(g), and hydrogen gas. This reaction is represented by the following balanced chemical equation: 4 PH3(g) → P4(g) + 6 H2(g) She determined the rate of reaction with respect to the consumption of phosphine gas to be -0.0024 mol/(L s). What are the rates of formation of phosphorous gas and hydrogen gas in this experiment? Place your answer for phosphorous gas in the first blank and your answer for hydrogen gas in the second blank.
