For first order decomposition of \(N _2 O _5\) at constant volume, \(p_i\) is initial pressure
and \(p_t\) is pressure at any time \(t\) during the reaction.
Which of the following statement/s is incorrect?
(A) Half life does not depend on initial pressure
(B) Total pressure decreases with time
(C) Rate constant will be the same if initial pressure is doubled
(D) \(k=\frac{2.303}{t} \log \left(\frac{p_t}{p_i}\right)\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (C) and (D) only
  4. D (B) and (D) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(2N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 2N_2O_4(g) + O_2(g)\): Initial pressure: \(P_{N_2O_5} = p_i\), products = \(0\) Pressure at time \(t\): \(P_{N_2O_5} = p_i - 2x\), \(P_{N_2O_4} = 2x\), \(P_{O_2} = x\) \(p_t = (p_i - 2x) + 2x + x = p_i + x\) \(x = p_t - p_i\)…
