Textbook Question
Trans-cycloheptene 1C7H122, a strained cyclic hydrocarbon,
converts to cis-cycloheptene at low temperatures. This
molecular rearrangement is a second-order process with a
rate constant of 0.030 M-1 s-1 at 60 °C. If the initial concentration
of trans-cycloheptene is 0.035 M:
(c) What is the half-life of trans-cycloheptene at an initial
concentration of 0.075 M?
