Question

The rate constant for the first-order decomposition at 45 °C of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, dissolved in chloroform, CHCl3, is 6.2 × 10−4 min−1 . 2N2O5 ⟶ 4NO2+O2 What is the rate of the reaction when [N2O5] = 0.40 M

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of the reaction= 9.92× 10^-5 M² min-1

Explanation:

Using the equation of reaction

2N2O5 ⟶ 4NO2+O2

Rate = k[N2O5]²

From the question k= 6.2×10-4

[N2O5]= 0.4

Rate = 6.2×10-4[0.4]²= 9.92×10-5M² min-1
