For the isomerization of cyclopropane into propene
Cyclo-C₃H₆ ∏ CH₃CH=CH₂
The rate constants of the forward and backward reactions are 1.47 *10¹³ s^-1 and 5.19 *10¹² s^-1 respectively at a temperature of 1500 K. Determine the partial pressure of cyclopropane at equilibrium if the initial partial pressure is 0.100 bar.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant K can be calculated using the ratio of the rate constants (K = k_forward / k_backward). Using the initial pressure and the equilibrium constant, the partial pressure of cyclopropane at equilibrium can be determined.
