Question
In a study of the gas phase decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide at 335 K
N₂O5(g)- →2 NO₂(g) + ½ O₂(g)
the concentration of N₂05 was followed as a function of time.
It was found that a graph of In[N₂05] versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of -6.67×10-³
s-¹ and a y-intercept of -2.05.
Based on this plot, the reaction is
seconds.
