AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of estimating the time required for ethylene oxide to be 75% decomposed at 450°C, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Convert Temperatures to Kelvin
First, we need to convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin.
- For 278°C:
\[
T_1 = 278 + 273 = 551 \, K
\]
