Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream by a series of metabolic reactions. The first reaction produces acetaldehyde; then other products are formed. The following data have been determined for the rate at which alcohol is removed from the blood of an average male, although individual rates can vary by 25-30%. Women metabolize alcohol a little more slowly than men: [CH,OH] (M) 4.4 x 10-2 3.3 x 10-2 2.2 x 10-2 Rate (mol/L/h) 2.0 x 10-2 2.0 × 10-2 2.0 x 10-2 Determine the rate equation, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction.
