For a given reaction, if:
aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD


Overall rate r can be expressed as:
\mathrm{ r=\frac{-1}{a} \times \frac{d[A]}{d t}=\frac{-1}{b} \times \frac{d[B]}{d t}=\frac{+1}{c} \times \frac{d[C]}{d t}=\frac{+1 d[D]}{d d t} }

where:
\mathrm{ -\frac{d[A]}{d t}= \\ }  Rate of disappearance of A.
\mathrm{ -\frac{d[B]}{d t}= }  Rate of disappearance of B.

\mathrm{ +\frac{d[C]}{d t}= }  Rate of Formation of C.

\mathrm{ +\frac{d[D]}{d t}= }  Rate of Formation of D.

Given:
2X \rightarrow 4Y + Z 
\mathrm{ +\frac{d[Y]}{d t}=\text { Rate of formation of } Y=0.05 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}

Overall rate (r) =\mathrm{ \frac{1}{4} \times} Rate of formation of Y
\mathrm{ r=\frac{1}{4} \times 0.05=0.0125 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} }
