The decomposition of N2O5 to NO2 and O2 is first order in [N2O5]. Given that the rate constant for the reaction is 6.93 x 10–3 s–1, how long will it take for the concentration of N2O5 to drop from 1.00 x 10–2 M to 6.10 x 10–3 M?

The rate constant for the first-order reaction N2O5 → 2 NO2 + 1/2 O2 is 3.19×10^-2 s^-1 at 45°C, and the initial concentration of N2O5 is 1.86×10^-3 M. a. How long will it take for the concentration to decrease to 5.00×10^-6 M? b. How much longer will it take for a further decrease to 4.00×10^-6 M?

The decomposition of N2O5 to NO2 and O2 is first order, with a rate constant of 4.80 × 10^-4/s at 45°C. If the initial concentration of N2O5 is 6.37 × 10^-2 mol/L, what is the concentration of N2O5 after 523 s? How long would it take for the concentration of N2O5 to decrease to 1.00 × 10^-2 mol/L from an initial concentration of 6.37 × 10^-2 mol/L?
