1. The pyrolysis of ethyl nitrate C2H5ONO2 (A), to formaldehyde, CH2O(B), and methyl nitrate, CH3NO2(D) as expressed below AB+D was studied experimentally revealing the presence of the following intermediate species: CH3, and C2H5O,C2H5O, which forms from the decomposition of ethyl nitrate, is an intermediate that decomposes to form the methyl radical (CH3) and formaldehyde. Methyl nitrite forms from the reaction of CH with ethyl nitrate which also produces a C2H5O radical. It is also known that acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and ethanol (C2H5OH) are formed from the combination reaction of two C2H5O radicals. a) Determine the rate expression for the formation of formaldehyde. b) The following experimental rate data were obtained at 250C for the above system: Are the data consistent with the rate expression you developed in part (a)
