Determine the maximum percentage yield of the ketene


At 1189 K the gas phase decomposition of the acetic acid proceeds by the way of two parallel reactions:

CH3COOH àCH4 +CO2                           k1 = 3.74 s-1

CH3COOH àCH2CO +H2O                      k2 = 4.65 s-1

Determine the maximum percentage yield of the ketene CH2CO obtainable at this temperature?
