Question:

Methyl isocyanide, CH3NC, isomerizes, when heated, to give acetonitrile (methyl cyanide), CH3CN.
CH3NC(g) → CH3CN(g)
The reaction is first order. At 230oC, the rate constant for the isomerization is 6.3 × 104/s. What is the half-life? How long would it take for the concentration of CH3NC to decrease to 50.0% of its initial value? to 25.0% of its initial value?
