The isomerization reaction CH;NC » CH;CN obeys the first-order rate law rate = -k[CH;NC] in the presence of an excess of argon. Measurements at 500 K reveal that in 520 s the concentration of CH;NC decreases to 71% of its original value. Calculate the rate constant k of the reaction at 500 K.

The gas phase decomposition of hydrogen iodide at 700 K HI(g)- →½ H2(g) + ½ I2(g) is second order in HI. In one experiment, when the initial concentration of HI was 2.23 M, the concentration of HI dropped to 0.656 M after 591 seconds had passed. Based on these data, the rate constant for the reaction is M-1 s-1.

The rate for the reaction H2 (g) + Br2 (g) 2 HBr (g)is first order in both H2 and Br2 concentrations, and the rate constant k at 287 \deg C is 5.87\times 10-4 L mol-1 s-1.
