The following reaction is first order in N2O5:
N2O5(g)→NO3(g)+NO2(g)
The rate constant for the reaction at a certain temperature is 0.053/s.
A. Calculate the rate of the reaction when [N2O5]= 5.9×10−2 M.
B. What would the rate of the reaction be at the same concentration as in Part A if the reaction were second order? (Assume the same numerical value for the rate constant with the appropriate units.)
C. What would the rate of the reaction be at the same concentration as in Part A if the reaction were zero order?
