The initial concentration of N(2)O(5) in...

The initial concentration of `N_(2)O_(5)` in the following first order reaction:
`N_(2)O_(5)(g) rarr 2NO_(2)(g)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g)`
was `1.24 xx 10^(-2) mol L^(-1)` at `318 K`. The concentration of `N_(2)O_(5)` after `60 min` was `0.20 xx 10^(-2) mol L^(-1)`. Calculate the rate constant of the reaction at `318 K`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For a first order reaction
`"log"0[R]_(1)/([R]_(2))=(k(t_(2)-t_(1)))/(2.303)`
`k=(2.303)/((t_(2)-t_(1)))"log"[R]_(1)/[R]_(2)`
`=(2.303)/((60"min"-0min))"log"(1.24xx10^(2)"molL"^(-1))/(0.20xx10^(2)"molL"^(-1)) `
`=2.303/60"log6.2"mi n^(-1)`
`k = 0.0304 "min"^(-1)`
