When oxygen is bubbled through a high temperature batch of A-containing liquid material, A oxidizes slowly to give a slowly decomposing intermediate X and final product R. Here are the results of an experiment
We have no way of analyzing for X; however, we are safe in assuming that at any time CA + CR + CX = CAo. What can we say about the mechanism and kinetics of this oxidation?
