In the absence of a catalyst, 1-methylorotic acid undergoes decarboxylation to 1-methyluracil (shown below). If the initial concentration of 1-methylorotic acid is 1.0 M, it takes 2.5 x 10¹5 s for the concentration of 1-methylorotic acid to decrease by half to 0.50 M. What is the rate of conversion of 1-methyorotic acid to product in the absence of a catalyst? Use 2 significant figures and scientific notation. (example: 1,000= 1.00x10³ would be entered as 1.0e+3) HN COOH CH₁ 1-methylorotic acid The rate of conversion (v) is i HN CH₁ 1-methyluracil + CO₂ M.5-¹.

A compound with the formula, C3H6 undergoes an isomerization reaction in the gas phase to form a new compound with the same molecular formula. The isomerization reaction is first-order with a rate constant of 5.87 x 10-4 sec-1 at 485 degrees Celsius. If a 2.50 liter flask initially contains 722 torr of the starting gaseous compound at 485 degrees Celsius, how long will it take, in minutes, for the partial pressure of the starting compound to drop below 1.00 x 102 torr?
