The following data were reported [C. N. Hinshelwood and P. J. Ackey, Proc. R. Soc. (Land)., AJ15, 215] for a gas-phase constant-volume decompositionof dimethyl ether at 504°C in a batch reactor. Initially, only (CH3)20 waspresent.
Time (s) | 390 | 777 | 11 95 | 3155 | ∞ |
Total Pressure (mmHg) | 408 | 488 | 562 | 799 | 931 |
(a) Why do you think the total pressure measurement at t = 0 is missingCan you estimate it?
(b) Assuming that the reaction
is irreversible and goes to completion, determine the reaction order and specific reaction rate constant, k.
(c) What experimental conditions would you suggest if you were to obtain more data?
(d) How would the data and your answers change if the reaction were run at a higher or lower temperature
