Pure oxygen is being absorbed by xylene in a catalyzed reaction in the experimental apparatus sketched in

Question:

Pure oxygen is being absorbed by xylene in a catalyzed reaction in the experimental apparatus sketched in Figure P14-3B. Under constant conditions of temperature and liquid composition, the following data were obtained:02 do Xylene + To atmosphere HO Boiling xylene

In the experiment, the bottom of the apparatus is heated in a trough consists of xylene. The vapor of boiling xylene is collected in a flask, which is observed by pure oxygen, and also some vapor of the xylene goes to the atmosphere while giving some residues of H2O.Stirrer Speed (rpm) 400 800 1200 1600 Rate of Uptake of O (mL/h) for System Pressure (absolute) 15 20 21 21

No gaseous products were formed by the chemical reaction. What would you conclude about the relative importance of liquid-phase  diffusion and about the order of the kinetics of this reaction?
