Answer to Question #282846 in Physical Chemistry for Mayyy

Question

The speed of the butadiene dimerization reaction was investigated by measuring the total pressure in a batch reactor operating isothermally at a temperature of 326 degrees Celsius. The measurement results are as follows:

t (minutes) 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 70

Pt (mmHg) 632 611 552 573.5 558.5 545 533.5 523 514 505 497 490 484 473

Calculate the order reaction and the rate constant for the reaction. Then the equation for the rate of reaction

Answer 1

Order of the reaction =1
