Interpretation:
The rate constant for the first order reaction of the below described equation at 500°C is 5.5 × 10-4 s-1.
The half-life of cyclopropane at 500°C has to be calculated. Also, the concentration of cyclopropane that remains after 2.0 hours has to be calculated, if the initial cyclopropane concentration is 1.00 × 10-3 M at 500°C.
Concept Introduction:
The half-life of first order reaction is calculated by the following equation,
t1/2 = 0.693kt1/2 = half-life of the reactionk = Rate constant of the reaction
The concentration of A that remains after time, t in a first order reaction can be calculated by the following equation:
ln [A][A]0 = -kt[A] = concentration of A at time,t[A]0 = initial concentration of Ak = Rate constantt = time

Explanation of Solution
Given,
k = 5.5 × 10-4 s-1[cyclopropane]0 = 1.00 × 10-3 Mt = 2.0 hours(1 hour = 3600 s2.0 hours = 7200 s)
The half-life of cyclopropane can be calculated as
t1/2 = 0.693k = 0.6935.5 × 10-4 s-1 = 1260 s
The concentration of cyclopropane that remains after 2.0 hours can be calculated as
ln [cyclopropane][cyclopropane]0 = -ktln [cyclopropane][1.00 × 10-3 M] = - (5.5 × 10-4 s-1) (7200 s)ln [cyclopropane][1.00 × 10-3 M] = - 3.96[cyclopropane][1.00 × 10-3 M] = e-3.96[cyclopropane][1.00 × 10-3 M] = 0.019[cyclopropane] = 0.019 × (1.00 × 10-3 M)= 1.9 × 10-5 M
The concentration of cyclopropane that remains after 2.0 hours is 1.9 × 10-5 M.
