Chapter 14, Problem 100AP

The thermal decomposition of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}$ obeys first-order kinetics. At $\text{45°C}$, a plot of In $\left[{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}\right]$ versus t gives a slope of $\text{-6}{\text{.18 × 10}}^{\text{-4}}{\text{min}}^{\text{-1}}$. What is the half-life of the reaction?
