Cyclopropane isomerizes into propene when heated to 500°C in the gas phase. The extent of conversion for various initial pressures has been followed by gas chromatography by allowing the reaction to proceed for a time with various initial pressures:

where p₀ is the initial pressure and p is the final pressure of cyclopropane.

What are the order and rate constant for the reaction under these conditions?
