Question
Ethylene oxide, C₂H4O, decomposes when heated to give methane and carbon monoxide.
C₂H₂O(g) → CH4 (9) + CO(g)
The following kinetic data were observed for the reaction at 688 K:
Exp. 1
Exp. 2
Initial
Concentration of
Ethylene Oxide
5.7590 x 10-³ M
1.1518 x 10-² M
+
Rate constant =
Initial Rate
1.179 x 10-6 M/s
2.359 × 10-6 M/s
a. Find the rate law for this reaction.
O Rate =
k[C₂H4O]
O Rate = k[C₂H4O]²
O Rate = k[CO]
Rate = k[CH]
b. Find the value of the rate constant for this reaction.
