Cyclobutane decomposes when heated in a first order reaction to give ethylene by the reaction shown below.
C4H8 2 C2H4
A) The initial concentration of C4H8 was 0.00150M. After heating the cyclobutane for 455 seconds, the concentration of C4H8 was 0.00119M. What is the value and units for the rate constant for this reaction?
B) Using the value and units of the rate constant from part a and the initial concentration of the C4H8 from part a, what would be the concentration of the C4H8 after 20.2 minutes?
C) How long in minutes would it take for the concentration of the C4H8 to reduce by 95.0%? Again use the rate constant from part a and the initial concentration of 0.00150M.
D) What is the half life for this reaction?
