Chapter 14, Problem 14.131AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The rate constant for the decomposition of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}$ and the complete rate law for the decomposition reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The general rate law is written as,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{A}+\text{B}\to \text{C}\\ \text{Rate}\text{Law}=k\left[\text{A}\right]\left[\text{B}\right]\end{array}$

Where, $k$ is the rate constant.

To determine: The rate constant for the decomposition of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{5}}$ and the complete rate law for the decomposition reaction.
