Physical Chemistry Reaction Kinetics Rice-Herzfeld Mechanisms A chain reaction can lead to a simple rate law. Pyrolysis of acetaldehyde Simple rate laws can follow from quite complex chain mechanisms. The Rice-Herzfeld mechanism for the pyrolysis of acetaldehyde is (a) Initiation: (b) Propagation: (c) Retardation: (d) Termination:

Physical Chemistry Reaction Kinetics Rice-Herzfeld Mechanisms The rate of formation of CH4 is in agreement with the three-halves order observed experimentally.

Physical Chemistry Reaction Kinetics Fast Reactions Experimental methods for fast reactions Rapid-flow method Movable spectrometer Mixing chamber Pistons Disadvantage: A large volume of reactant solution The reactants are mixed as they flow together in a chamber.
