At 70.6 C, acetic anhydride is reacted with ethanol in carbon tetrachloride according to the equation (CH3CO)2O + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5 + CH3COOH (A) (E) (HAC) The initial concentrations of acetic anhydride and ethanol were the same, CAO = CBO = 0.15 mol.dm³. At the moment when the concentration of acetic acid formed had the value CHAC = 0.033 mol.dm³, the rate of decrease of the ethanol concentration was (-dce / dt) = 1.56.10-5 mol.dm‍³.s-1, at the concentration of CHAC = 0.102 mol.dm was this rate equal to (-dCE / dt) = 2.63.106 mol.dm‍³.s-1. Determine the overall order of reaction and rate constant from these data.

What is one of the key complications in producing ammonia? O The reaction is too fast to be curolled. The hydrogen reactant is very difficult to acquire. Nitrogen, a reactant, is stable and unreactive. The ammonia product is unstable and does not store well over long perfods.of.time. The necessary catalyst is very rare.

Please help us with number five in picture. We are getting 1.5 and I'm not sure if they are asking and telling us that .5 is the equilibrium pressure of dinitrogen pentoxide. Or if .5 is the total.This is not a graded question as it is a practice question . I am 60 years old and helping my son prepare for the AP exam in a few months. We do questions at the back of the textbook by Zumdahl and Zumdahl. I believe the answer is D but I am getting 1.5
