The dimerization of butadiene, C4H6, to form 1,5-cyclooctadiene is a second-order process that occurs when the diene is heated. In an experiment, a sample of 0.0092 mol of C4H6 was heated in a 1.0-L flask. After 480. seconds, 19% of the butadiene had dimerized. Calculate the rate constant for this reaction. Rate constant = |M-'s-1

The dimerization of butadiene, C4H6, to form 1,5-cyclooctadiene is a second-order process that
occurs when the diene is heated. In an experiment, a sample of 0.0092 mol of C4H6 was heated in a
1.0-L flask. After 480. seconds, 19% of the butadiene had dimerized. Calculate the rate constant for
this reaction.
Rate constant =
