An electronically excited state of Hg can be quenched by N, according to Hg* (g) + Nz

Question:

An electronically excited state of Hg can be quenched by N, according to
Hg* (g) + Nz (g, V = 0) -7 Hg (g) + N, (g, v = 1) in which energy transfer from Hg* excites Nz vibrationally. Fluorescence lifetime measurements of samples of Hg with and without Nz present are summarized below (T= 300 K):

You may assume that all gases behave ideally. Determine the rate constant for the energy transfer process.

Py. =0.0 atm Relative fluorescence intensity 1.000 0.135 0.606 5.0 0.360 0.22 20.0 t/us 10.0 10.0 15.0 15.0 0.0 PN, =9.7
