A student obtained the following data for the conversion of methyl isonitrile to acetonitrile in the gas phase at 250 °C.
CH3NC(g)--->CH3CN(g)
(1) What is the half-life for the reaction starting at t = 0 s?_________ s
What is the half-life for the reaction starting at t = 169 s?________s
Does the half-life increase, decrease or remain constant as the reaction proceeds? _________(increase/decrease/remain constant)
(2) Is the reaction zero, first, or second order? _______(zero/first/second)
(3) Based on these data, what is the rate constant for the reaction?________ s-1
