7. The rate constant for the first-order decomposition of N2O5(g) at 100C is 1.46101s1. a) If the initial concentration of N2O5 in a reaction vessel is 4.50103mol/L, what will the concentration be 20.0 seconds after the decomposition begins? 8. Nitric oxide reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide according to the following reaction: 2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g) Predict a two-step mechanism, each bimolecular, for this reaction. The rate law for this reaction is: rate =k[NO]2[O2] Which step in the 2-step mechanism would you predict to be the slowest
