Question
For the rearrangement of cyclopropane to propene at 500 °C
(CH2)3 → CH3 CH=CH2
the following data have been obtained:
[(CH₂)3], M 0.0297 0.0154 0.00793 0.00410
time, min 0
16.4 32.8
49.2
The average rate of disappearance of
(CH₂) 3 over the time period from
t = 0 min to
t = 16.4 min is
M/min.

The decomposition of ammonia on a tungsten surface at 1100 °C
NH3 → 1/2 N₂ + 3/2 H₂
is zero order in
NH3 with a rate constant of
3.40 x 10-6 M/s.
If the initial concentration of
NH3 is 0.00645 M, the concentration of
NH3 will be
M after 1630 seconds have passed.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Defining average rate of disappearance

Answer:

The average rate of disappearance is equal to the rate of change in concentration of reactant, so
