The decomposition reaction

$$2{N_2}{O_5}(g)\buildrel \Delta \over \longrightarrow 2{N_2}{O_4}(g) + {O_2}(g)$$

is started in a closed cylinder under isothermal isochoric condition at an initial pressure of 1 atm. After Y $$ \times $$ 103 s, the pressure inside the cylinder is found to be 1.45 atm. If the rate constant of the reaction is 5 $$ \times $$ 10-4s-1, assuming ideal gas behaviour, the value of Y is ...............
Answer
2.3

Explanation

At constant V, T

At initial t = 0 and final t = y $$ \times $$ 103 sec

$$\matrix{ {2{N_2}{O_5}(g)\buildrel \Delta \over \longrightarrow } & {2{N_2}{O_4}(g) + } & {{O_2}(g)} \cr 1 & 0 & 0 \cr {1 - 2p} & {2p} & p \cr } $$

pTotal = 1 $$-$$ 2p + 2p + p

1.4 = 1 + p

p = 0.45 atm

According to first order reaction,

$$k = {{2.303} \over t}\log {{{p_i}} \over {{p_i} - 2p}}$$

pi = 1 atm (given)

2p = 2 $$ \times $$ 0.45 = 0.9 atm

On substituting the values in above equation,

$$2k.t = 2.303\log {1 \over {1 - 0.9}}$$

$$2 \times 5 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times y \times {10^3} = 2.303\log {1 \over {0.1}}$$

$$y = 2.303 = 2.3$$

Note : Unit of rate constant (k), i.e. s$$-$$1 represents that it is a first order reaction.
