Question
At 650 K, β-pinene isomerizes to form either 4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene or myrcene. The former reaction has a rate constant of 0.22 s–1 and the latter a rate constant of 0.13 s–1. What is the overall rate law for the isomerization of β-pinene?
A.
Rate = (0.029 s–1)[β-pinene]
B.
Rate = (0.082 s–1)[β-pinene]
C.
Rate = (0.17 s–1)[β-pinene]
D.✓ Correct
Rate = (0.35 s–1)[β-pinene]
