Bicyclohexane was found to undergo two parallel first order rearrangements. At `730 K`, the first order rate constant for the formation of cyclohexene was measured as `1.26xx10^(-4)s^(-1)` and for the formation of methyl cyclopentene the rate constant was `3.8 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1)`. What is the percentage distribution of the rearrangement Products ?

Explanation

Percentage of cyclohexene `=(k_(1))/(k_(1)+k_(2))xx100`
`=(1.26xx10^(-4))/(1.26xx10^(-4)+3.8xx10^(-5))xx100`
`= 77%`
`:.` Percentage of methylcyclopentene `= 23%`
