Given,
Initial concentatraion of
N2O5[R]1=1.24×10−2 mol L−1
Final concentration of
N2O5[R]2=0.20×10−2 mol L−1
Order of reaction = First order
Temperature=318 K
Value of rate constant
For a first order reaction,
log[R]1[R]2=k(t2−t1)2.303
Putting values in the above formula, we
get,
k=2.303(t2−t1)log[R]1[R]2
=2.30360 min−0 minlog1.24×10−2mol L−10.20×10−2mol L−1
=2.30360log6.2 min−1
⇒=0.0304min−1
Final answer: The rate constant of the
reation at 318 k is0.0304 min−1
