TBA was produced by the liquid-phase hydration (W) of isobutene (I) over an Amberlyst-15
catalyst. The reaction mechanism is believed to be:
I+SharrI*S
W+SharrW*S
W*S+I*SharrTBA*S+S
TBA*SharrTBA+S
Derive a rate law assuming:
a) The surface reaction is rate-limiting.
b) The adsorption of isobutene is limiting.
c) The reaction follows Eley-Rideal kinetics, and the surface reaction is limiting.
I*S+WTBA*S
