1. Consider three reactions in series: C₂H6 -> C₂H4 + H₂ (Rxn 1, k₁) C2H6+ H2 -> 2 CH4 (Rxn 2, K2) C₂H4 + C₂H6 -> C3H6 + CH4 (Rxn 3, k3 = k₂) The desired product here is ethylene (C2H4). If we start with 4 mol/L of C₂H6 at t = 0, find values of k₁ and k₂ that result in conditions where we have exactly* 1.5 mol/L of C2H4 and 0.25 mol/L of C3H6 at t = 250 s?
