Multiple Choice

Tetrafluoroethylene, C₂F₄, can be converted to octafluorocyclobutane which can be used as a refrigerant or an aerosol propellant. A plot of 1/[C₂F₄] vs. time gives a straight line with a slope of 0.0448 L mol⁻¹s⁻¹. What is the rate law for this reaction?

A) Rate = 0.0448 (L mol ⁻¹s ⁻¹) [C ₂F ₄]
B) Rate = 22.3 (mol L ⁻¹s) [C ₂F ₄]
C) Rate = 0.0448 (L mol ⁻¹s ⁻¹) [C ₂F ₄] ²
D) Rate = 22.3 (mol L ⁻¹s) [C ₂F ₄] ²
E) Rate = 0.0448 s ⁻¹ [C ₂F ₄]
