At a certain temperature the rate of this reaction is second order in N2O5 with a rate constant of 0.0868M^−1s^−1 2N2O5(g)--->2N2O4(g)+O2(g)   Suppose a vessel contains N2O5 at a concentration of 0.660M. Calculate how long it takes for the concentration of N2O5 to decrease by 78.0%. You may assume no other reaction is important. Round to 2 significant digits.
