Consider the decomposition of cumene to form benzene and propylene C 6 H 5 CH ( CH 3 ) 2 - > C 6 H

Consider the decomposition of cumene to form benzene and propylene
C6H5CH(CH3)2-> C6H6+ C3H6
Nomenclature to be used: C = cumene, B = benzene, P = propylene
C + S CS Adsorption of cumene
CS BS + P Surface reaction
BS B + S Desorption of benzene from the surface
Derive an expression considering:
Surface reaction is the rate-limiting step
Adsorption is rate-limiting step
Desorption is the rate-limiting step
