Question

If methylisonitrile is placed in a sealed quartz tube and heated in a tube furnace, it isomerizes to acetonitrile according to the reaction below:  


CH3NC (g)  →  CH3CN (g)  


The sealed tube initially contains 0.200 mol of methylisonitrile and zero moles of acetonitrile.  After about 25 minutes of heating, there is 0.108 mol of methylisonitrile remaining in the tube.  Please calculate the average rate of decomposition of methyisonitrile during this 25 min. period.
