2C4H6(g) → C8H12(g) At high temperatures, the compound C4H6 (1,3-butadiene) reacts according to the equation above. The rate of the reaction was studied at 625 K in a rigid reaction vessel. Two different trials, each shown with a different starting concentration, were carried out. The data were plotted in three different ways, as shown below. (a) For trial 1, calculate the initial pressure, in atm, in the vessel at 625 K. Assume that initially all the gas present in the vessel is C4H6. (Hint-this is a gas law problem from chemistry last year) (b) Use the data plotted in the graphs to determine the order of the reaction with respect to C4H6. (c) The initial rate of the reaction in trial 1 is 0.0010 mol/(L *s). Calculate the rate constant, k, for the reaction at 625 K.
