The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide proceeds according to the following reaction: 2 N 2 O 5 ( g ) 4 N O 2 ( g

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide proceeds according to the following reaction:
2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)
The reaction is first order with a rate constant k=1.710-3s-1 when the temperature is 55C.
a. Determine the reaction rate with respect to N2O5 when the fractional conversion x is 0,0.5 and 1,
given that the initial concentration of N2O5 is 0.03M.
x=0;r=5.110-5(mol)l-1s-1:x=0.5;r=2.5510-5(mol)l-1s-1:x=1;r=0
b. Determine the reaction rate with respect to the NO2 and O2 for the same values of fractional
conversion in part a
[x=0:rNO2=1.0210-4(mol)l-1s-1;rO2=2.5510-5(mol)l-1s-1]
[x=0.5:rNO2=5.110-5(mol)l-1s-1;rO2=1.2810-5(mol)l-1s-1]
[x=1:rNO2=0;rO2=0]
c. Use the ideal gas law to express the initial concentration of N2O5 in terms of pressure.
d. Calculate the partial pressure and mole fraction of each gas component at x=0.5.
[pN2O5=40905(Pa);pNO2=81810(Pa);pO2=20452(Pa)]
[yN2O5=0.286;yNO2=0.571;yO2=0.143]
