    The first order rate law has the form: - d[A]/dt = k[A] where, A refers to cyclopropane. We integrate this expression in order to arrive at an equation that expresses concentration as a function of time. After integration, the first order rate equation becomes:

    ln [A] = - kt + ln [A]_o, where,

    k is the rate constant

    t is the time of the reaction

    [A] is the concentration of the species at the given time

    [A]_o is the initial concentration of the species

    For this problem, we simply substitute the known values to the equation as in:

    ln[A] = - (6.7 x 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹) (644 s) + ln (1.33 M)

    We then determine that the final concentration of cyclopropane after 644 s is 0.86 M.

    For a first-order reaction, the equation is written below:

    lnA = lnA₀ - kt

    where

    A₀ is the original concentration

    A is the concentration left after time t

    k is the rate constant

    Substituting the values:

    lnA = ln (1.33 M) - (6.7*10⁻⁴ s⁻¹) (644 s)

    Solving for A,

    A = 0.863 M

    Therefore, the answer is letter D.
