The rate of reaction.
`2N_(2)O_(5) to 4NO_(2) + O_(2)`
can be written in three ways.
`(-d[N_(2)O_(5)])/(dt) = k[N_(2)O_(5)]`
`(d[N_(2)O_(5)])/(dt) =( k^(')[N_(2)O_(5)])`
`(d[O_(2)])/(dt) = (k^(')[N_(2)O_(5)])`
The relation between k and `k^(')` are:

A

`k^(') = 2k, k^(')=k`

B

`k^(') = 2k, k^('')=k/2`

C

`k^(') = 2k, k^('')`

D

`k^(')=k,k^('')=k`

The correct Answer is:
To find the relationship between the rate constants \( k \) and \( k' \) for the reaction \[ 2N_{2}O_{5} \rightarrow 4NO_{2} + O_{2}, \] we need to analyze the rate expressions given in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Rate Expressions**: The rate of reaction can be expressed in terms of the change in concentration of reactants and products. The three expressions provided are: - \(-\frac{d[N_{2}O_{5}]}{dt} = k[N_{2}O_{5}]\) - \(\frac{d[N_{2}O_{5}]}{dt} = k'[N_{2}O_{5}]\) - \(\frac{d[O_{2}]}{dt} = k'[N_{2}O_{5}]\) 2. **Understanding the Stoichiometry**: From the balanced equation, we see that: - 2 moles of \( N_{2}O_{5} \) decompose to produce 4 moles of \( NO_{2} \) and 1 mole of \( O_{2} \). - This gives us the stoichiometric coefficients: for every 2 moles of \( N_{2}O_{5} \) that react, 4 moles of \( NO_{2} \) and 1 mole of \( O_{2} \) are produced. 3. **Relating the Rates**: Using the stoichiometry of the reaction, we can relate the rates of change of concentrations: \[ -\frac{1}{2} \frac{d[N_{2}O_{5}]}{dt} = \frac{1}{4} \frac{d[NO_{2}]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[O_{2}]}{dt} \] 4. **Expressing the Rates**: From the first expression, we can express the rate of disappearance of \( N_{2}O_{5} \): \[ -\frac{d[N_{2}O_{5}]}{dt} = 2k[N_{2}O_{5}] \] Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{d[NO_{2}]}{dt} = 4k[N_{2}O_{5}] \] and \[ \frac{d[O_{2}]}{dt} = 2k[N_{2}O_{5}] \] 5. **Relating \( k \) and \( k' \)**: From the expressions for \( \frac{d[NO_{2}]}{dt} \) and \( \frac{d[O_{2}]}{dt} \), we can identify: \[ k' = 2k \quad \text{(for } NO_{2}\text{)} \] and \[ k' = k \quad \text{(for } O_{2}\text{)} \] 6. **Final Relationship**: Thus, we conclude that: \[ k' = 2k \quad \text{and} \quad k'' = \frac{1}{2}k \] ### Summary of Relationships: - For \( NO_{2} \): \( k' = 2k \) - For \( O_{2} \): \( k'' = \frac{1}{2}k \)

To find the relationship between the rate constants \( k \) and \( k' \) for the reaction \[ 2N_{2}O_{5} \rightarrow 4NO_{2} + O_{2}, \] we need to analyze the rate expressions given in the question. ...
