Consider the following reaction: 2 C5H6↔C10H12
C5H6 is placed in a container and the concentration is monitored over time. At some point during the reaction, the rate of formation of C10H12 is 0.02M/s.
a) What is the rate of disappearance of C5H6 at the same time?
b) This reaction is second order. Write the rate law for this reaction.
c) If the rate of formation of C6H12 is 0.05 M/s when the concentration of C5H6 is 0.55M. What is the value of the rate constant k?
