This dielectric is typically more resistant to oxidation than other coatings. Set
up a stoichiometric table for this reaction and plot the concentration of each
species as a function of conversion. The entering pressure is 1 Pa and the tem-
perature is constant at 700°C. The feed is equimolar in NH3 and SiH,.
P3-24, It is proposed to produce ethanol by one of two reactions:

C2H5Br + OH- --+ C2HSOH + Br- (2)
Use SPAIT' (see Appendix J) or some other software package to answer the following:
(a) What is the ratio of the rates of reaction at 25"C? lWC? 50O0C?
(b) Which reactior, scheme would you choose ta make ethanol? (Hint: Consult
Chemical Marketing Reporter or www.chemweek.com for chemical prices).

P3-2SB Sgt. Amkrcromby - It is believed, although never proven, that Bonnie murdemi her
first husband, kfty, by poisoning the tepid brandy they drank together on their first
anniversxy. Lefty was unware she had coated her glass with an antidcte before she
filled both glasses with the poison brandy. Bonnie manied her second husband, Clyde,
and some years later when she had tired of him, she called him one day to tell him of
her new pmmotion at work and to suggest that they celebrate with a glass of brandy
that evening. She had the fatal end in mind for Clyde However, Clyde suggested that
instead of brandy, they celebrate with ice cold Russian vodka and they down it Cossack
style, in one gulp. She agreed and decided to follow her previously successful plan and
to put the poison in the vodka and the antidote in her glass. The next day, both were
found head. Sgt. Ambemomby anives. What were the first three questions he asks?
What are IWO possible explanations? Based on what you learned from this chapter,
what do you feel Sgt. Ambemomby suggested as the most logical explanation?
