1. Write a possible chemical reaction equation and general rate law for this
reaction. State the classification of this reaction.
2. The rate constant and reaction order of this decomposition reaction can be
evaluated using a differential graphical analysis method. State the overall order of
the reaction and compare the value of chemical reaction rate constant obtained
from these two methods.
3. Express the rate law based on concentration and conversion obtained from a
well organized stoichiometric table presented in your answer.
