29-24. A proposed mechanism for the thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde CH,CHO(g) CH₁(g) + CO(g) CH,CHO(g) Ty CH3(g) + CH3CHO(g) CH,CO(g) CH3(g) + CHO(g) (1) CH2(g) +CH,CO(g) (2) CH3(g) + CO(g) (3) 2 CH₁(g) C₂H6 (4) Is this reaction a chain reaction? If so, identify the initiation, propagation, inhibition, and termination step(s). Determine the rate laws for CH₁(g), CH3(g), and CH3CO(g). Show that if you assume the steady-state approximation for the intermediate species, CH3(g) and CH3CO(g), the rate law for methane formation is given by d[CH] dt 1/2 (1) K, CH, CHOP/2 2k,
