Assignment on chemical kinetics based on the topics taught on 5/6/2020:

1. The following data were obtained during first order thermal decomposition of N2O5 (g) at constant
volume:

2N2O5(g) → 2N2O4(g) + O2(g)

Sr.no. Time in sec Total pressure in atm

1. 0 0.5
2. 100 0.512
Calculate the rate constant.

2. A first order reaction is found to have a rate constant, k= 5.5x10-14s-1.Find the half-life of the reaction.

3. Show that in a first order reaction, time required for completion of 99.9% is 10 times of half- life (t1/2)
of the reaction.

4. What is a first order reaction? Derive the rate expression for a first order reaction.

5. A first order reaction has a rate constant of k=1.15x10-3 s-1.How long will it take for 6 g of the reactant
to reduce to 3 g?
