Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the conversion of cyclopropane into propene, the order of the reaction and the rate constant of the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Rate of reaction:

The rate of a reaction is defined by the change in concentration of substrate (reactant) or target (product) with change in time.

$\text{Rate}\text{=}\frac{\text{Concentration}\text{change}\left(\text{in}\text{reactant}\text{or}\text{product}\right)}{\text{Time}\text{change}}$
