42. At 500 K in the presence of a copper surface, ethanol decom-
poses according to the equation
C,H¿OH(g)
→ CH;CHO(g) + H2(g)
The pressure of C2H5OH was measured as a function of time
and the following data were obtained:

Since the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the con-
centration of gas, we can express the rate law for a gaseous
reaction in terms of partial pressures. Using the above data,
deduce the rate law, the integrated rate law, and the value of
the rate constant, all in terms of pressure units in atm and time
in seconds. Predict the pressure of C2H5OH after 900. s from
the start of the reaction. (Hint: To determine the order of the
reaction with respect to C2H5OH, compare how the pressure
of C,H5OH decreases with each time listing.)
