and the experimental data given below.

Explain how you would use the experimental data to determine the order of the reaction with respect to C4H6.

  

3. Consider the following reaction at 500 K, 2C4H6(g) C8H12(g) and the experimental data given belovw. 1.6 x 102 8.0 x 103 4.0 x 103 2.0 x 10-3 rate, M s' .58 x 106 8.96 x 10 2.24 x 10 5.60 x 108 Explain how you would use the experimental data to determine the order of the reaction with respect to C4H6

Explanation / Answer

Rate of reaction = rate constant[Concentration of reactant]order of the reaction

Let order of reaction be x.

Rate = k[C4H6]x (k =rate constant)

Use the given table to find values of rate and concentration of C4H6.

3.58*10-6 M/s =k[1.6*10-2]x

8.96*10-7 M/s =k[8*10-3]x

Divide the above two equations to find the value of x.

4 = [2]x

x =2

Order of the reaction is 2.
