Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) decomposes at high temperature to methane and carbon monoxide. A container was filled with acetaldehyde to a pressure of 0.22 atmospheres and then the CO partial pressure was monitored as a function of time. Time (s) CO Partial Pressure (Atm) 0 0.0000 1733 0.1100 3466 0.1650 5199 0.1925 Determine the order of the reaction and then the rate constant? The answer is First Order, with a rate constant of 4.0x10^-4 s^-1
