Question

The decomposition of N2O5(g) at 320K according to the following equation follows first order reaction:

`N_2O_(5(g))->2NO_(2(g))+1/2O_(2(g))`

The initial concentration of N2O5(g) is 1.24 x 10-2 mol. L-1 and after 60 minutes 0.20x10-2 molL-1. Calculate the rate constant of the reaction at 320K.

Solution

Data: `N_2O_(5(g))->2NO_(2(g))+1/2O_2`

`[N_2O_5]_@=1.24xx10^-2molL^-1`

`[N_2O_5]_t=0.20xx10^-2molL^-1`

k=?   t=60min

Solution : 

`k=2.303/t log""([N_2O_5])/([N_2O_5])`

`k=2.303/60log""((1.24xx10^-2))/((0.2xx10^-2))`

k=0.0383x0.7924

k= 0.303min-1

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

The rate of reaction is concerned with decrease in the concentration of reactants or increase in the concentration of products per unit of time. It can be expressed as instantaneous rate at a particular instant of time and average rate over a large interval of time. A number of factors such as temperature, concentration of reactants, catalyst affect the rate of reaction. Mathematical representation of rate of a reaction is given by rate law:

Rate = k[A]x [B]y

x and y indicate how sensitive the rate is to change in concentration of A and B. Sum of x + y gives the overall order of a reaction.
When a sequence of elementary reactions gives us the products, the reaction is called complex reaction. Molecularity and order of an elementary reaction are same. Zero-order reactions are relatively uncommon but they occur under special conditions. All natural and artificial radioactive decay of unstable nuclei takes place by first-order kinetics.
