Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate constant can be determined from the slope of the linear plot of ln[cyclopropane] vs time, which is equal to -k. From the given slope of -4.1 s^-1, the rate constant can be calculated as k = 4.1 × 10^1 s^-1 or 4.1 × 10^-2 s^-1. The only option that matches this value is choice C.
