Problem
Dinitrogen pentoxide decomposes in the gas phase according to the elementary process N₂O₅(g) → 2 NO₂(g) + 1⁄2 O₂(g) When the experiment is performed at 308 K, the reaction is first order in N₂O₅. Initial-rate data are provided.| Trial | [N₂O₅]₀ (M) | Initial rate (mol·L⁻¹·s⁻¹) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.050 | 1.2 × 10⁻⁴ |
| 2 | 0.100 | 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ |
