Azomethane decomposes into nitrogen and ethane at elevated temperature:
H₃C–N=N–CH₃ → N₂ + C₂H₆
A chemist studying this reaction at 300°C begins an experiment with an azomethane concentration of 8.16 mM and obtains the following data:

Time(s)		100	150	200	250	300
[Azomethane] (mM)		6.32	5.57	4.90	4.31	3.80

Calculate the rate constant. Give an answer with concentration units of molarity and time units of seconds.

Ethane (C2H6) can rotate around the central C--C bond. When the two -CH3 groups are aligned with each other there is a repulsion between the Hydrogen atoms that results in an energy 2.0 × 10-20 Joules higher than when the Hydrogens are staggered. If the ethane molecules are at room temperature (25° C), what is the ratio of molecules that are perfectly aligned to molecules that are perfectly staggered?
