The thermal decomposition of N2O5 obeys first-order
Chapter 13, Problem 96P(choose chapter or problem)
QUESTION:
The thermal decomposition of \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\) obeys first-order kinetics. At \(45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), a plot of In \(\left[\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\right]\) versus t gives a slope of \(6.18 \times 10^{-4}\ \mathrm{min}^{-1}\). What is the half-life of the reaction?
