Question

The decomposition of N2O5 according to the equation 2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)
is a first order reaction. After 2 minutes from the start of decomposition in a closed vessel, the total pressure developed is found to be 500 mm Hg. On complete decomposition, the total pressure is 800 mm Hg. If the rate constant of the reaction is y min1 then, what is the value of y? (given log 2 = 0.3, log 3 = 0.5)

Solution

The given reaction is
2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)
p000initiallyp02p4ppat 2 min02p0p02after long time
Given:
p0+3p=500 mmHg and
2.5p0=800 mmHg
p0=320 mmHg and p = 60 mmHg
So, k=2.3032logp0p02p=2.3032log320200=2.3032log 1.6=2.3032(4×log21)=0.2303
