The kinetics of the exothermic reaction of acetaldehyde with methyl alcohol has been studied using calorimetry in the temperature range of 263–283 K. Based on this study the reaction rate constant for the reaction was found to be\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k = 1.84\;{\rm x 10}^{- 2} \,\exp \left({- 3527/T} \right) $$\end{document}and the heat of reaction was found to be\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \left({- \Delta H} \right) = \left({0.3637 - 63.9} \right){\rm kJ/Kg}\,{\rm mole} $$\end{document}These kinetics were based on the assumption of a pseudoisothermal first‐order reaction.
