    This document contains two summaries of chemical reaction rate expressions: 1) The Deacon process for chlorine production involves the reversible reaction of HCl and O2. The rate expression correlates to concentrations of HCl, O2, Cl2, and H2O with rate constants. 2) Vinyl acetate is produced from acetic acid and ethylene in a palladium-catalyzed reaction. The overall rate expression is given, and elementary steps are postulated to derive this rate law, with the rate determining step being the irreversible combination of dissociatively adsorbed reactants.

    1.

    Furusaki (1973) studied the kinetics of the following Deacon process for the production of
    1 1 1
    chlorine 𝐻𝐶𝐼 + 𝑂2 ↔ 𝐶𝐼2 + 𝐻2 𝑂
    4 2 2

    The rate of disappearance could be correlated to the following expression:

    1
    𝑘 [𝐶𝐻𝐶𝐼 𝐶𝑂2 0.25 − (𝐾 ) 𝐶𝐶𝐼2 0.5 𝐶𝐻2𝑂 0.5 ]
    𝑟=
    [1 + 𝐾1 𝐶𝐻𝐶𝐼 + 𝐾2 𝐶𝐶𝐼2 ]

    Postulate a series of elementary steps that will yield this rate expression and prove the rate
    equation. [10]

    2. Vinyl acetate consumes the largest fraction of acetic acid manufactured. The overall rate
    equation is given by this equation and the reaction is catalysed by Palladium.

    The adsorption mechanism is postulated to proceed by a series of elementary steps given


    below (the rate determining step is assumed to be the irreversible combination of dissociately
    adsorbed ethylene and acetic acid). Derive a rate equation and note that intermediate spicies
    are not expected to appear on the overall equation. [30]
