Channel: Professor Heath's Chemistry Channel
Date: 2013-07-12

At 1000 °C, cyclobutane (C4H8) decomposes in a first-order reaction, with the very high rate constant of 87 s-1, to two molecules of ethylene (C2H4).

a) If the initial C4H8 concentration is 2.00 M, what is the concentration after 0.010 s?
b) What fraction of C4H8 has decomposed in this time?
