We noted in an earlier practice exercise that at 25 celsius the decomposition position of N2O5(g) into NO2(g) follows first order kinetics with k= 3.4 x 10^-5 s^-1. How long will it take for a sample originally containing 2.0 atm of N2O5 to reach a partial pressure of 380 torr?

Solutions

Expert Solution

For a first order reaction rate constant , k = ( 2.303 /t )x log (Po /P)

Where

Po = initial pressure = 2.0 atm = 2.0 x 760 torr                           Since 1 atm = 760 torr

                                 = 1520 torr

P = partial pressure at time t = 380 torr

t = time = ?

k = rate constant = 3.4 x 10 -5 s-1

Plug the values we get      k = ( 2.303 /t )x log (Po /P)

                                        t = ( 2.303 /k )x log (Po /P)

                                            = ( 2.303 / (3.4 x 10 -5 ))x log (1520/380)

                                            = 40780 s

Therefore the time required is 4070 s
