The decomposition of N2O5(g) ---> NO2(g) + NO3 (g) proceeds as a first order reaction with a half-life of 30.0 seconds at a certain temperature. If the initial concentration [N2O5]0 = 0.400 M, what is the rate constant of the reaction?

Step 1
We are dealing with a first-order reaction where the decomposition of N2O5 into NO2 and NO3 has a half-life of 30.0 seconds. The initial concentration of N2O5, [N2O5]0, is 0.400 M. We need to find the rate constant (k) of this reaction. Show more…

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide is first order in N2O5. 2N2O5(g) → 2N2O4(g) + O2(g) and has a rate constant k = 0.035 s^-1. If this reaction is run in the laboratory, and the initial concentration of N2O5 in the reaction vessel is 3 M, what is the concentration of N2O5 after 1.435 minutes?

The decomposition of N2O5 is given by the following equation: 2N2O5 → 4NO2 + O2 For an initial value of [N2O5] = 3.15 M, the initial reaction rate is 3.32 M s-1. If the decomposition reaction is second order, what is the reaction rate (in M s-1) when [N2O5] = 1.56 M?

For the simple decomposition reaction $$ \mathrm{AB}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{A}(g)+\mathrm{B}(g) $$ rate $=k[\mathrm{AB}]^{2}$ and $k=0.2 \mathrm{L} / \mathrm{mol}$ -s. How long will it take for $[\mathrm{AB}]$ to reach one-third of its initial concentration of 1.50 $\mathrm{M} ?$
