Question

The Naganohara Fireworks company hired you, as a new chemical engineer in town, to operate one of their reactors used in th, eir fireworks manufacturing. This batch reactor is a constant-volume reactor operated at 0oC. One of the operators then gave you the data for the decomposition of the pure gas Yoimiya-X (YX) into the product they call Amber (A). The stoichiometry of the decomposition is YX -> 2.5A. Your major task as the chemical engineer is to find a rate equation (in moles, liter, and minutes) which satisfactorily represents this decomposition.

 

The following data are obtained:

 

time, min 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 ∞
Partial pressure of YX, mm Hg 76 60 47.5 39 32 27.5 24 21.5 15
