Azomethane decomposes into nitrogen and ethane at high temperature:
CH3 - N = N - CH3 --> N2 + C2H6
A chemist studying this reaction at 300 oC obtains the following data:
Time (x 102 s) [Azomethane] (mM)
0 7.94
1.00 6.15
1.50 5.40
2.00 4.75
2.50 4.20
3.00 3.69
What graphical method will determine the appropriate overall reaction order for this reaction?
Question options:
A) [Azomethane] vs. time
B) ln[Azomethan] vs. time
C) 1/[Azomethane] vs. time
D) ln k versus 1/T
