Nitrogen Pentoxide Decomposes by a First-Order Process Yielding N₂O₄ and Oxygen

question 5

Short Answer

Nitrogen pentoxide decomposes by a first-order process yielding N₂O₄ and oxygen.
2N₂O₅ $\rarr$ 2N₂O₄ + O₂
At a given temperature, the half-life of N₂O₅ is 0.90 hr.What is the first-order rate constant for N₂O₅ decomposition?
