Question

hello, i sent this question before but the answer you rpovided for both wasnt right and i couldnt undertstand how you got the answer. can you please show me a handwritten solution for better understanding.

1a) The decomposition of ethanol at some constant temperature (above 500°C), over a copper surface,

C2H5OH(g)  CH3CHO(g) + H2(g)

was studied by monitoring the total pressure with time.
The following data were obtained:

 

t (s)     Ptotal (torr)
0 120
45 131
139 154
233 177
376 212
380 213

What will be the total pressure at t = 462 s?

1b) What is the rate constant (k)?
(Include appropriate units.)
