12.3 Exercise 18

Avg difficulty 2.5

The rate constant for the first-order decomposition at 45 °C of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, dissolved in chloroform, CHCl3, is 6.2 ×\times 10−4 min−1.
2N2O5⟶4NO2+O2\text{2N}_{2} \text{O}_{5} \rightarrow \text{4NO}_{2} + \text{O}_{2}

What is the rate of the reaction when [N2O5] = 0.40 M?
