The gas phase decomposition of dimethylether follows first order kinetics
CH3-O-CH3gCH4g+H2g+COg
The reaction is carried out in constant volume container at 500oC and has a half-life of 14.5min . Initially only dimethylether is present at a pressure of 0.40atm . The total pressure of the system after 12min is x 100 atm . The value of x is

The correct answer is: 75


Now: 12=2.3030.693×14.5log0.40.4-x

0.25=log0.40.4-x

100.25=0.40.4-x

0.40.4-x=1.778

x=0.175

Total pressure =0.4-0.75+0.175+0.175+0.175=0.75 atm

now: x100=0.75

x=75
