Question

The isomerization reaction CH₃NC → CH₃CN obeys the first-order rate law,

rate = k[CH₃NC],

in the presence of an excess of argon. Measurement at 500. K reveals that in 485 seconds, the concentration of CH₃NC has decreased to 73% of its original value. Calculate the rate constant (k) of the reaction at 500. K.

s⁻¹

(The integrated form for the first-order rate law can be written in the general terms

ln[A]_t − ln[A]₀ = −kt,

where

[A]₀

is the initial concentration of reactant A,

[A]_t

is the concentration of A at time t, and k is the rate constant.)
