Question

An unknown gas, DD, reacts with fluorine gas to form the compound DF4(g)DF4(g), as represented by the following equation.

D(g)+2F2(g)→DF4(g)D(g)+2F2(g)→DF4(g)

A series of experimental trials were performed at 600∘C600∘C to determine the rate law expression for the reaction. Data from the trials are shown below.

 

Initial PDPD

(torrtorr)

Initial PF2PF2

(torrtorr)

Initial Rate of Appearance of DF4(g)DF4(g)

(torr/mintorr/min)
