Consider the Reaction for the Dimerization of Butadiene(g)at a Certain $\rightarrow$

question 53

Short Answer

Consider the reaction for the dimerization of butadiene(g)at a certain temperature.
2C₄H₆(g) $\rightarrow$ C₈H₁₂(g)
rate = k[C₄H₆]².When the initial concentration of butadiene is 0.500 M,
the time required for 80% dimerization is measured at 11.4 s.What is the rate constant for the dimerization?
