The ARSST adiabatic bomb calorimeter reactor can also be used to determine the reaction orders. The hydrolysis of acetic anhydride to form acetic acid was carried out adiabatically
The rate law is postulated to be of the form
The following temperature time data were obtained for two different critical concentrations of acetic anhydride under adiabatic operation. The heating rate was 2 °C/min.
CA0 = 6.7 M, CB0 = 0.2 M
