***Given the following***
Balanced Equation: 2 N2O5 -> 4 NO2 + O2
Rate Constant, k= 4.66 x 10-4 s-1
Temperature: 72Degrees Celcius
***How much N2O5 remains in the solution after 115 minutes if the initial concentration of N2O5 is 0.60 M?
***What % of N2O5 has reacted at this point?
If you're able to show your work for me to get a better understanding it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
2N2O5 ------> 4NO2 + O2
rate constant unit shows it is first order reaction
rate = k [ N2O5 ]
integrated form of first order rate equation is
ln[A]t= -kt + ln[A]0
where,
[A]t= concentration of reactant at time t
t = time , 115minutes = 6900seconds
[A]0= Initial concentration, 0.60M
k = rate constant , 4.66×10^-4s^-1
Therefore,
ln[A]t = -(4.66×10^-4s^-1 × 6.9×10^3s) + ln(0.60M)
2.303log[A]t= -(4.66×10^-4s^-1×6.9×10^3s)+ 2.303log(0.60M)
= -3.2154 - 0.5109
= - 3.7263
log[A]t= -1.6180
[A]t = 0.0241M
So, after 115minutes , 0.0241M of N2O5 will remains
Initial concentration of N2O5 = 0.60M
N2O5 remains after 115 minutes = 0.0241M
N2O5 reacted = 0.60M - 0.0241M = 0.5759M
℅ of N2O5 reacted = (0.5759M/0.60M)×100 = 95.98%
