Read the passage carefully and answer the Questions
The decomposition of \(N_2O_5\ (g)\) is given as
\(N_2O_5(g) \rightarrow 2NO_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\)
The above reaction is found to be of first order.
Choose the correct statement about the rate of the reaction:

  1. A The rate of the reaction doubles as the initial amount of \(N_2O_5\) is doubled
  2. B Changing the amount of reactant has no effect on the rate of the reaction
  3. C The rate of the reaction becomes half as the initial amount of \(N_2O_5\) is doubled
  4. D The order of reaction will be doubled as the temperature is increased by \(10\ ^\circ C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The rate of the reaction doubles as the initial amount of \(N_2O_5\) is doubled

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate \( = k[N_2O_5]^1 \) If \([N_2O_5]\) is doubled, Rate \( \rightarrow 2 \times \text{Rate} \).
