In a study of the gas phase decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide at 335 K:

\[ \text{N}_2\text{O}_5(\text{g}) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{NO}_2(\text{g}) + \frac{1}{2} \, \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \]

the concentration of \(\text{N}_2\text{O}_5\) was followed as a function of time.

It was found that a graph of \(\ln[\text{N}_2\text{O}_5]\) versus time in seconds gave a straight line with a slope of \(-6.30 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{s}^{-1}\) and a y-intercept of \(-1.74\).

Based on this plot, the reaction is \(\boxed{\phantom{0}}\) order in \(\text{N}_2\text{O}_5\) and the rate constant for the reaction is \(\boxed{\phantom{0}}\) \(\text{s}^{-1}\).
