The half-life for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide at 70 °C is 101.6 s. At the beginning of the decomposition reaction, 0.025 moles of dinitrogen pentoxide were dissolved in 2 x10³ cm³ of water. Assuming that the reaction follows the first order reaction, predict the duration (in minutes) for the dinitrogen pentoxide to decompose to 0.01 mol.
