After 50 kernels have popped, how many kernels pop in 5 seconds?

Popcorn kernels pop independently (that is, unimolecularly). At constant temperature, 6 kernels pop in 5 seconds when 150 kernels are present.

After 50 kernels have popped, how many kernels pop in 5 seconds?

Answer:
A unimolecular reaction, such as an SN1 type mechanism in organic chemistry, says the rate of the reaction is proportional to the amount of substrate only, not all the other reactants.

Assuming kernels to be your substrate, you have a rate of 6 pops / 5 sec when 150 are present (your "concentration")

When you have 100 kernels, that's 2/3 of the original concentration, and your rate will be 2/3 of the initial, or 4 pops / 5 sec.
only 2 have popped in 5 seconds
