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 -9.38×104 s1 and a y-intercept of -1.57 . Based on this plot, the reaction is O order in (CH2)3 and the half life for the first reaction is seconds.
