**Decomposition of N₂O - Second Order Reaction**

**Question:**
The decomposition of N₂O(g) to nitrogen and oxygen has the rate law \( \text{rate} = k[\text{N}_2\text{O}]^2 \).

**Constants:**
- \( k = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ /M s at 565°C} \).

**Given:**
- Initial concentration of N₂O: \( 0.15 \text{ M} \).
- Time: \( 30 \text{ minutes (1800 seconds)} \).

**Question:**
What is the concentration after 30 minutes (1800 seconds) at 565°C?

**Options:**
a. \( 9.5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M} \)

b. \( 2.2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ M} \)

c. \( 0.029 \text{ M} \)

d. \( 0.12 \text{ M} \)

e. \( 0.46 \text{ M} \)

---

To approach this question, you'll need to use the second-order rate law integrated form:
\[
\frac{1}{[\text{N}_2\text{O}]_t} = \frac{1}{[\text{N}_2\text{O}]_0} + kt
\]
Where:
- \([\text{N}_2\text{O}]_t\) is the concentration at time \( t \).
- \([\text{N}_2\text{O}]_0\) is the initial concentration.
- \( k \) is the rate constant.
- \( t \) is the time.

Plug in the known values to solve for \([\text{N}_2\text{O}]_t\):
\[
\frac{1}{[\text{N}_2\text{O}]_t} = \frac{1}{0.15 \text{ M}} + (1.1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ /M s}) (1800 \text{ s})
\]

Now calculate the right-hand side:
\[
\frac{1}{0.15} + (1.1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1800)
\]
\[
