Benzenediazonium chloride, which is commonly used in organic chemistry, is unstable and will readily breakdown. A batch reactor contains this substance, initially at a concentration of \( 10 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L} \), in a liquid solution at a constant temperature, and the amount of \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \) that has evolved from the reactor is measured. After an extended amount of time, \( 58.3 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \) of \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \) gas have been found to evolve from the reactor. Table 1 contains data for the volume of \( \mathrm{N}_{2} \) evolved from the reactor over time (Write down all the steps, 20 points): a) Determine the reaction order and rate constant using the integral method, checking to see if the reaction is \( 0,1^{\text {st }} \), or \( 2^{\text {nd }} \) order. (10 pts) b) Determine the reaction order and rate constant using the differential method. (Note, the data points are unevenly spaced! What time increment should you use?). (10 pts)
