Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is an air pollutant produced in photochemical smog by the reaction of hydrocarbons, oxides
Question:
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is an air pollutant produced in photochemical smog by the reaction of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and sunlight. PAN is unstable and dissociates into peroxyacetyl radicals and NO2(g). Its presence in polluted air is like a reservoir for NO2 storage.
The first-order decomposition of PAN has a half-life of 35 hours at 0 °C and 30.0 min at 25 °C. At what temperature will a sample of air containing 5.0 x 1014 PAN molecules per liter decompose at the rate of 1.0 x 1012 PAN molecules per liter per minute?
