The reaction C2H5CN(g)-----> CH2CHCN(g) +H2(g) is first order. In an experiment, the rate constant is determined to be 0.148 s-1 at 726°C.
(a) Calculate the half-life of the reaction at 726°C based on this experiment.
__________s
(b) If the initial partial pressure of C2H5CN in a container at 726°C is 2.64 atm, how long will it take to fall to 0.330 atm?
