QUESTION 1
In order to determine the kinetics of a gas phase irreversible reaction, A - B + C, experiments were carried out in a constant volume batch
reactor. Several initial concentrations were used and when half of the initial concentration was reached, the corresponding time was noted. The
following table gives the values for two different temperatures.
