The rice-herzfeld mechanism for the thermal decomposition


The Rice-Herzfeld mechanism for the thermal decomposition of acetaldehyde (CH3CO) is the following below (10 points) (1) CH3CHO ---> CH3' + CHO' (k1) (2) CH3' + CH3CHO ---> CH4 + CH2CHO' (k2) (3) CH2CHO' --->CO + CH3' (k3) (4) CH3' + CH3' --->C2H6 (k4) Using the steady-state approximation, determine the rate of methane (CH4) formation in terms of [CH3CHO]. where ' is for radical
