In the year 1934 F. O. Rice and K. F. Herzfeld were able to explain this more or less simple law by using a complex mechanism. Their proposal was four elemental steps: Start: CH3CHO + ka → ⦁CH3 ⦁CHO Propagation: CH3CHO + CH4 + CH3CO⦁ kb ⦁CH3 → Propagation: CH3CO⦁ + CO kc → ⦁CH3 Termination: + C2H6 kd ⦁CH3 ⦁CH3 → 7.8. Write down a balanced equation for the pyrolysis reaction. 7.9. Write the formulae for the unstable particles of the propagation reactions into the two boxes. 7.10. the differential rate law given above, assuming a steady state mechanism for the unstable particles of the propagation reactions.
