Prelaboratory Questions Name Laboratory Section 1. Consider the following reaction: 2 N2O5 (g) 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> The initial concentration of N,Os was 0.84 mol/L, and 35 minutes after initiating the reaction, all of the N,O5 has been consumed. a) Calculate the average rate of the reaction over this 35-minute time interval. b) Is it correct to assume that the rate law is Rate = k[N,O5]2 based on the balanced chemical equation? Briefly explain your answer. %3D c) Suppose the reaction rate is determined by simultaneously measuring the rate of decrease of N,O5 concentration (-AIN2O5]/At) and the rate of increase of NO, concentration (A[NO,1/At). VWhich rate will be higher and by what factor? (continued on next page) 137
