A study of the rate of dimerization of C4H6 gave the data shown in the table: 2C4H6 ?C8H12 Time (s) 0 1600 3200 4800 [C4H6] (M) 1.00 × 10-2 5.04 × 10-3 3.37 × 10-3 2.53 × 10-3 6200 2.08 × 10-3
(a) Determine the average rate of dimerization between 0 s and 1600 s, and between 1600 s and 3200s.
(b) estimate the instantanious rate at 3200s
(c) Determine the average rate of formation at 1600 s and the instantanious rate at 3200s
