The reaction is ﬁrst order. at 230 oc, the rate constant for the isomerization is 6.3 x 10-4/s. wha

Methyl isocyanide, CH3NC, isomerizes, when heated, to give acetonitrile (methyl cyanide), CH3CN.

CH3NC(g) → CH3CN(g)

The reaction is ﬁrst order. At 230 oC, the rate constant for the isomerization is 6.3 x 10-4/s.

What is the half-life?

Rate constant = $\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

half life ( $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ )= $\frac{0.693}{r a t e c o n s \tan t}$

= $\frac{0.693}{6.3 \times 10^{- 4}}$

= 1,100 seconds
