An elementary reaction is generally expressed as: dCa = -kC," dt where A is the species being depleted as the reaction progresses, k is the rate constant, and n is the order of reaction, usually referred to as the stoichiometric coefficient of the resulting product. For a polymerization reaction A> 3B, find the initial amount if after 30 seconds, A species is reduced to 5 moles/L within 3 minutes. Take the rate constant as 0.314 L²/(moľ²-min).

For the past 10 years, the unsaturated hydrocarbon 1, 3-butadiene (CH2 = CH - CH = CH2) has ranked 38th among the top 50 industrial Chemicals. It is used primarily for the manufacture of synthetic rubber. An isomer exists also as cyclobutene: The isomerization of cyclobutene to butadiene is first-order and the rate constant has been measured as 2.0104s1 at 150 C in a 0.53-L ?ask.
