Azomethane decomposes into nitrogen and ethane at high temperatures according to the following equation: (CH3)2N2(g)N2(g)+C2H6(g)The rate of the reaction is followed by monitoring the disappearance of the purple color due to iodine. The following data are obtained at a certain temperature. (a) By plotting the data, show that the reaction is first-order. (b) From the graph, determine k. (c) Using k, find the time (in hours) that it takes to decrease the concentration to 0.100 M. (d) Calculate the rate of the reaction when [ (CH3)2N2 ]=0.415M.
In Chapter 3, we discussed the conversion of biomass into biofuels. One important area of research associated with biofuels is the identification and development of suitable catalysts to increase the rate at which fuels can be produced. Do a web search to find an article describing biofuel catalysts. Then, write one or two sentences describing the reactions being catalyzed, and identify the catalyst as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
