QUESTION:

The molecular scenes below represent the first-order reaction as cyclopropane \((red)\) is converted to propene \((green)\):

Determine (a) the half-life and (b) the first-order rate constant.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

A first-order reaction is a chemical reaction that exhibits a specific mathematical relationship between the reaction rate and the concentration of one of the reactants. The reaction rate is directly proportional to the reactant concentration involved in such reactions. It means that as the concentration of the reactant decreases, the reaction rate also decreases proportionally.
