The reaction of triphenyl methyl chloride (trityl) (A) and methanol (B) was carried out in a solution of benzene and pyridine at 25 °C. (C,Hs),CCI + CH,OH > (C,H5);COCH, + HCI + D A В C Pyridine reacts with HCI that then precipitates as a pyridine hydro chloride thereby making the reaction irreversible. The concentration - time table was obtained in a batch reactor, with the initial concentration of methanol (B) was 0.5 mol/L. Time (min) 50 100 150 200 250 300 Conc. of A (mol/L)x 103 50 38 30.6 25.6 22.2 19.5 17.4 (1) Determine the reaction order with respect to triphenyl methyl chloride (A). (2) In a separate set of experiments, the reaction order wrt methanol (B) was found to be first order. Determine the rate constant (k).
