Question
How does temperature affect the rate of this chemical reaction.
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas emitted by industry, agriculture, and waste systems. Methane is the second most prevalent greenhouse gas
(after carbon dioxide). Methane plays an important role in climate change because it absorbs infrared radiation more efficiently than carbon
dioxide. Methane is broken down in the atmosphere by ozone (O3), making its atmospheric lifetime shorter than that of carbon dioxide.
CH,(g) + O,(g) → products
A research group studied the rate of the reaction by which methane reacts with ozone; the data are shown in the following tables
