Solution to Part-(a) of the given Question....

Following is the given data in the problem....as a Table ...in ....image format.... (obtained using MS Excel ):

1) Data:

Plot of [N₂O₅ ] vs. Time (sec.);----- (i.e. in ...image format... obtained using MS Excel....)

Plot of ln [N₂O₅ ] vs. Time (sec.):..................................(in image format) obtained using MS Excel....

Plot of 1/[N2O5] vs. time (sec.)....obained using MS Excel....in...image format.....

Since from the above Plots....as it seems...we have the plot of... ln([ N₂O₅ ])...vs. Time (sec.)...which is almost Linear...(i.e. Streight Line...)

Answer: (a)

As suggested by the plotted data...the Rate Order...of the given reaction, would be.... of first order.... (reaction)

Solution to Part-(b):

From ln( [ N₂O₅ ]) vs. Time (sec.) data.... we get the Slope (k) = {0 - ( - 0.196 )} / (25 - 0 ) = 7.84 x 10 ^{- 3}

Therefore at Time = 250 sec.... we get corresponding

ln ([N₂O₅]) = Slope x Time = (7.84 x 10 ^-
3 ) x 250 sec. = - 1.96

Step- 2:

Therefore.... [N₂O₅ ] = 0.14 ...i.e. at 250 ^oC...........(Answer...(b))
