Chemistry

The decomposition of Ethylene oxide, (CH2)2 O(g), at 652k is a1st- order reaction with R=0.012 min^-1 and an activation energy of218k J/mol (CH2)2 O(g) -----> CH4(g)+ CO (g)

Calculate a) the rate constant of reactin at 525k and b) thetemperature at which the rate constant R=0.01min^-1 (universal gasconstant R=8.314 J/mol^-1 k^-1)
