The decomposition reaction 2N2O5g  2N2O4g+O2g is started in a closed cylinder under the isothermal isochoric condition at an initial pressure of 1 atm. After Y×103 s , the pressure inside the cylinder is found to be 1.45 atm . If the rate constant of the reaction is 5×10-4s-1, assuming ideal gas behaviour, the value of Y is

  1. A 2.5
  2. B 2.63
  3. C 2.3
  4. D 2.4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


P0=1 atm, Pt=1.45 atm, P=1.5 atm
From the unit of K=5×10-4s-1,
The reaction is first-order
t=2.3032×5×10-1log1.5-11.5-1.45
t=2.303×103=y×103
y=2.303
After round off: y=2.3
