The thermal decomposition of diacetylene, C4H2, was studied at 950 C. Use the following data (K. C. Hou and H. B. Palmer, Journal of Physical Chemistry. Vol. 60, p. 858, 1965) to determine the order of the reaction.
The hydrolysis of the sugar sucrose to the sugars glucose and fructose, C12H22O11+H2OC6H12O6+C6H12O6 follows a first-order rate equation for the disappearance of sucrose: Rate =k[C12H22O11] (The products of the reaction, glucose and fructose, have the same molecular formulas but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in their molecules.) (a) In neutral solution, k=2.11011s1 at 27 C and 8.51011s1 at 37 C.
