Question

Thermal decomposition of ethane

Answer 1

Answer:

The thermal decomposition of ethane into ethylene and hydrogen

C₂H6 → C₂H4 + H₂

is found to be first order in ethane at 1000 °K. The following Rice-Herzfeld mechanism has been proposed:

C₂H6 → 2 CH3

CH3 + C₂H6 CH4 + C₂H5

C₂H5 → C₂H4 + H

H + C₂H6C₂Hs' + H₂

H + C2Hs' C₂H6

Obtain an analytical expression for the rates of formation of methane, ethylene and hydrogen.
