Question

The intial concentration of N2O5 in the following first order reaction N2O5(g)2NO2(g)+1/2O2(g) was 1.24×102 mol L1 at 318 K. The concentration of N2O2 after 60 minutes was 0.20×102 mol L1. Calculate the rate constant of the reaction at 318 K.

Solution

Given,

Initial concentatraion of
N2O5[R]1=1.24×102 mol L1

Final concentration of
N2O5[R]2=0.20×102 mol L1

Order of reaction = First order
Temperature=318 K

Value of rate constant

For a first order reaction,

log[R]1[R]2=k(t2t1)2.303

Putting values in the above formula, we
get,
k=2.303(t2t1)log[R]1[R]2

=2.30360 min0 minlog1.24×102mol L10.20×102mol L1

=2.30360log6.2 min1

=0.0304min1

Final answer: The rate constant of the
reation at 318 k is0.0304 min1
