Q.

NO2 required for a reaction is produced by decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 as by equation

2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)

The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3 mol L-1 and it is 2.75 mol L-1 after 30 minutes.

The rate of formation of NO2 is x×10-3 mol L-1 min-1, Value of x is ________ . (nearest integer)              [2024]


Ans.

(17)

                  Rate of dissociation of N2O5:  -Δ[N2O5]t=-(2.75-3)mol L-130min=1120molL min

                  By stoichiometry of the reaction, 2N2O5(g)4NO2(g)+O2(g)

                  Rate of reaction=-12Δ[N2O5]t=14Δ[NO2]t

                  Δ[NO2]t=2×Δ[N2O5]t

                  Δ[NO2]t=2×1120molL min=16.67×10-3molL min17×10-3molL min
