Calculation Of Reaction Rate Constant And Initial Rate Of Formation

Question

The conversion of CH₃NC → CH₃CN was shown to be first order.

(a) Write down the rate equation for this elementary reaction.

In an experiment where the initial temperature was 300°C, the activation energy was 160kJmol^-1, with a pre-exponential factor of 3.98 × 10¹³s^-1 and the initial concentration of CH₃NCwas 0.01 mol dm^-3. Use your answer from (a) to calculate the initial rate of formation of CH₃CN.

Summary

The question belongs to Chemistry and it discusses about giving the elementary reaction for the conversion and calculate initial rate of formation of the reaction.
