Tetrafluoroethylene, C₂F₄, Can Be Converted to Octafluorocyclobutane Which Can Be

question 23

Multiple Choice

Tetrafluoroethylene, C₂F₄, can be converted to octafluorocyclobutane which can be used as a refrigerant or an aerosol propellant. A plot of 1/[C₂F₄] vs. time gives a straight line with a slope of 0.0448 L mol^-1s^-1. What is the rate law for this reaction?

• A) Rate = 0.0448 (L mol^-1s^-1)[C₂F₄]
• B) Rate = 22.3 (mol L^-1s)[C₂F₄]
• C) Rate = 0.0448 (L mol^-1s^-1)[C₂F₄]²
• D) Rate = 22.3 (mol L^-1s)[C₂F₄]²
• E) Rate = 0.0448 s^-1 [C₂F₄]
