The decomposition of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) on an alumina (Al₂O₃) surface, C₂H₅OH → C₂H₄(g) + H₂O(g), was studied at 600K. Concentration versus time data were collected for this reaction and a plot of [C₂H₅OH] versus time resulted in a straight line with a slope of -4.00 x 10^-5 mol/L-s. Determine the rate law for this reaction.
