Question

Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes to form nitrogen dioxide oxygen, following the equation 2N2O3 - 4NO, + 0,. At

Answer 1

Answer:

A. N₂O₅ is produced at 0.2 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹, and O₂ is produced at 0.05 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹.  

Explanation:

2N₂O₅ ⟶ 4NO₂ + O₂

For every two molecules of N₂O₅ that disappear, we get four molecules of NO₂ and one of O₂.

NO₂ is forming twice as fast, and O₂ is forming half as fast, as N₂O₅ is decomposing.

N₂O₅ is decomposing at a rate of 0.1 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹.

So, N₂O₅ is produced at 0.2 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹, and O₂ is produced at 0.05 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹.
