The kinetics of decomposition of N 20 5 was studied by measuring the concentration of N 20 5 as a function of time. The plot of concentration versus time is not linear, but the plot of the natural log of the concentration versus time is linear with a slope of -0.0358. What is the rate law for the decomposition?
