Solution
Azoisopropane decomposes according to the following equation:
\[\ce{(CH3)2CHN = NCH(CH3)2_{(g)} -> N2_{(g)} + C6H14_{(g)}}\]
This action is a first-order reaction.
Initial pressure (P0) = 35.0 mm Hg
Decrease in pressure of azoisopropane after time t is P.
Increase in N2 pressure = `P_(N_2)`
Increase in the pressure of hexane = `P_(C_6H_14)`
Total pressure of the mixture (Pt) = `P_A + P_(N_2) + P_(C_6H_14)`
Pt = (P0 – P) + P + P
Pt = P0 + P
P = Pt – P0
PA = P0 – (Pt – P0) = 2P0 – Pt
But PA ∝ a − x and P0 ∝ Pt
k = `2.303/t log P_0/(2P_0 - P_t)`
When t = 360 s,
k = `2.303/360 log 35/(2 xx 35 - 54)`
= `2.303/360 log 35/16`
= `2.303/360 log 2.1875`
= `2.303/360 xx 0.339`
k = 2.17 × 10–3 s–1
When, t = 720 s,
k = `2.303/720 log 35/(2 xx 35 - 63)`
= `2.303/720 log 35/7`
= `2.303/720 (log 35 - log 7)`
= `2.303/720 (1.544 - 0.845)`
= `2.303/720 xx 0.699`
k = 2.23 × 10–3 s–1
Rate constant = `((2.17 + 2.23))/2 xx 10^-3 s^-1`
= 2.20 × 10–3 s–1
