Problem: Cyclopropane rearranges to form propene in the gas phase.The reaction is first order in cyclopropane and has a measured rate constant of 3.36 x 10-5 s-1 at 720 K. If the initial cyclopropane concentration is 0.0505 M, what is the cyclopropane concentration after 251 minutes?
FREE Expert Solution
We are asked to determine the amount of the cyclopropane concentration after 251 minutes
The integrated rate law for a 1st-order reaction is as follows:
where rate= rate at time t, k = rate constant, t = time, initial rate = starting rate
