Chapter 3, Problem 3.12P

(a)    Write the rate law for the following reactions assuming each reaction follows an elementary rate law. Give the units of k_A for each, keeping in mind some are homogeneous and some reactants are heterogeneous.

1. (a) ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_6\to {\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4+{\text{H}}_2$

1. (b) ${({\text{CH}}_3)}_3\text{COOC}{({\text{CH}}_3)}_3\rightleftarrows {\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_6+2{\text{CH}}_3{\text{COCH}}_3$
2. (c) $n{\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{10}\rightleftarrows i{\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{10}$
3. (d) ${\text{CH}}_3{\text{COOC}}_2{\text{H}}_5+{\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_9\text{OH}\rightleftarrows {\text{CH}}_3{\text{COOC}}_4{\text{H}}_9+{\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_5\text{OH}$
4. (e) $2{\text{CH}}_3{\text{NH}}_2\underset{\text{cat}}{\rightleftarrows }{({\text{CH}}_3)}_2\text{NH}+{\text{NH}}_3$
5. (f) ${({\text{CH}}_3\text{CO})}_2\text{O}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\rightleftarrows 2{\text{CH}}_3\text{COOH}$
