Question

The decomposition of N2O5 to NO2 and O2 is first order, with a rate constant of 4.80 × 10-4/s at 45°C. If the initial concentration of N2O5 is 7.98×10-2 mol/L, what is the concentration of N2O5 after 503 s?

How long would it take for the concentration of N2O5 to decrease to 1.00 × 10-2 mol/L from an initial concentration of 7.98×10-2 mol/L?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reaction

The decomposition of N2O5 

N2O5 ----> NO2 + O2

Rate Constant = k = 4.80 * 10-4 s-1

1.

Initial concentration [N2O5]0 = 7.98×10-2 mol/L

Concentration at t =503 s = [N2O5]t = To be determined

2.

Initial concentration [N2O5]0 = 7.98×10-2 mol/L

Concentration at time t = [N2O5]t  = 1.00 × 10-2 mol/L

Time =t = To be determined
