For the reaction2N2O5(g)⏟Dinitrogenpentoxide→4NO2⏟Nitrogendioxide(g)+O2(g)⏟Oxygen. The rate of formation of NO2(g)is 2.8×10-3Ms-1. Calculate the rate of disappearance of N2O5(g).
Step 1 Given data:
Given reaction 2N2O5(g)→4NO2(g)+O2(g)
Rate of formation of NO2(g)=2.8×10-3Ms-1
Step 2: Applying the formula:
⇒-12ddtN2O5=14ddtNO2⇒-ddtN2O5=2×14ddtNO2⇒-ddtN2O5=12ddtNO2⇒-ddtN2O5=12×2.8×10-3Ms-1⇒-ddtN2O5=1.4×10-3Ms-1⇒1.4×10-3Ms-1
Therefore, the rate of disappearance of N2O5(g) is1.4x10-3Ms-1.
