Question

At 1000°C, cyclobutane (C4H3) decomposes in a first-order reaction, with the very high rate
constant of 89 1/s, to two molecules of ethylene (C2H4). The initial cyclobutane concentration is
1.81 M. How long will it take for 61% of the cyclobutane to decompose? Enter to 4 decimal places.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Use Integrated rate equation for first order reaction ( time & concentration of reactant equation) taking final concentration of reactant as 61 % of initial concentration.
