Question

The decomposition of NO2(g) is second order with k = 0.55 M-1s-1 at a given temperature and when 0.300 mol of NO2 initially are placed in a 2.00 L container.

2 NO2 O2 + 2 NO

What is the concentration (in M) of O­2(g) at the same temperature after 2.0 minutes have elapsed? Enter your answer with two significant figures and no units.

Follow-up Question

If you used the 0.0276 moles of NO2 and converted it into O2, then converted it into molarity, what would this value tell you? Would it not be O2's concentration after 2 minutes, which is what the question is asking for? How do these two different values differ in terms of what they represent?
