In a study of the rearrangement of cyclopropane to propene at 500 °C (CH2)3 CH3CH=CH2 the concentration of (CH2)3 was followed as a function of time. It was found that a graph of In[(CH2)3] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -1.01x10-3 s-1 and a y-intercept of -2.42 . Based on this plot, the reaction is first e order in (CH2)3 and the rate constant for the reaction is s-1.
