Interpretation:
The rate law and molecularity of for the given elementary reaction has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
The rate law is an equation which provides the relationship between
Molecularity tells about the number of reactant participated in a reaction.
- If only one reactant participated in a reaction then the reaction is called unimolecular reaction and its molecularity is 1.

- There are two molecules with the formula C3H6 Propane, CH3CH = CH2, is the monomer of the polymer polypropylene, which is used for indoor-outdoor carpets. Cyclopropane is used as an anesthetic: When heated to 499 C, cyclopropane rearranges (isomerizes) and forms propane with a rate constant of 5.95104s1. What is the half-life of this reaction?
