Due to hydrogen bonding there is a formation of cage like structure called lattice in ice due to which <span> density of ice is less than that of water. Moreover, it is a known fact that density of water is maximum at 4°C.</span>
If we analyze the situation analytically, there are situations or states. Then, we are also given with 2 values of pressure and 1 value of volume. Lastly, temperature was set as constant. Thus, this means we use the Boyle's Law.
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Let's find V₂.
(1 atm)(1.72 L) = (35 atm)(V₂)
Solving for V₂,
<em>V₂ = 0.049 L</em>
The given equation from the problem above is already balance,
N2O5 ---> 2NO2 + 0.5O2
Since, in every mole of N2O5 consumed, 2 moles of NO2 are formed, we can answer the problem by multiplying the given rate, 7.81 mol/L.s with the ratio.
(7.81 mol/L.s) x (2 moles NO2 formed/ 1 mole of N2O5 consumed)
= 15.62 mol/L.s
The answer is the rate of formation of NO2 is approximately 15.62 mol/L.s.
