The simplified mechanism shown below is for the thermal decomposition of ethanal: CH3CHO ki -CH + CHO -CH3 + CH3CHO k2 CH4 + CHCO CH3CO - k CO + CH CH3 + .CH k4 C2H6 (i) Draw the molecular structure of ethanal. (ii) Identify each of the reaction steps in the mechanism. (iii) Explain why this is a linear chain and not a branched chain reaction. (iv) Identify the reactive intermediates (chain carriers). (v) Derive the rate law for the formation of CO which is consistent with the following experimental rate law: d[CO]/dt = kexpt [CH3CHO]3/2 (vi) ) What additional experimental evidence could be obtained to support this proposed mechanism? (vii) What are the units of kexpt? (viii) Write down the mechanism for any chain reaction of atmospheric importance
