The gas-phase decomposition of di-terf-butyl peroxide, (CH3)3COOC(CH3)3, is first order in the temperature range 110°C to 280°C with a first-order rate coefficient k = 3.2 X 1016 exp[—(164 kJ moV1/RT)] s_1.

a. What are the values of ∆H and ∆S for this reaction at 110°C?


b. Give a brief interpretation of the value of ∆S.


c. At what temperature will the reaction occur ten times faster than at 110°C?
