Nitrous oxide N2O decomposes in a closed batch reactor at a temperature of 1163 K into nitrogen and oxygen. The initial pressure of N2O in the reactor was 101.3 kPa. Calculate how long it takes for the pressure in the reactor to rise to 141.3 kPa, if the decomposition takes place with second-order kinetics, the gases behave ideally and the rate decomposition constant has the value kc(N2O) = 0.977 dm³ mol-1 s-1 at the given temperature.
