Certain organic molecules can undergo dimerization.  Butadiene when it undergoes this type of reaction it has a half-life of 5.92 x 10-2 s at 50.0 C. The reaction is second order. If the initial concentration of the butadiene is 0.655 M, what is the rate constant for this reaction? If the initial concentration of butadiene is 0.750 M, what will be its concentration after 8.50 seconds.
