Question

Under certain conditions the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide ( N₂O₅ )on a metal surface gives the following data:

[N2O5] (M)

1.0  10−3

2.0  10−3

3.0  10−3

Rate (mol L−1 h−1)

1.5  10−6

1.5  10−6

1.5  10−6

Determine the rate law, the rate constant, and the overall order for this reaction.

Answer 1

The formatting of the data table is a little messed up, so I'm going to "guess" at the actual data and try to reproduce it below.

[N2O5] M ..... Rate (mol/L-h)

1x10^-3..............1.5x10^-6

2x10^-3..............1.5x10^-6

3x10^-3..............1.5x10^-6 (? can't read this value)

Since the rate does NOT change with a change in [N2O5], this tells us the order is ZERO order.

Rate Law: rate = k[N2)5]⁰ so rate = k

k = 1.5x10^-6 M/h
