DECOMPOSITION OF AZOMETHANE
Hint
For an elementary reaction of the form, aA + bB → cC,
Example:
For the elementary reaction, O3 + NO → NO2 + O2r = -d[O3]/dt = -d[NO]/dt = +d[NO2]/dt = + d[O2]/dtThus, the rate of consumption of ozone would be written,r = k[O3]1[NO]1 = k[O3][NO]
-d[O3]/dt = k[O3][NO]and the rate of production of ozone would be written,+d[O3]/dt = -k[O3][NO]
Rate of Production of (Azomethane)* in the Second Elementary Step {(+d[AZO*]/dt)2}
For the second elementary step
the rate of production of (azomethane)* would be
