The decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 at 318K has been studied by monitoring the concentration of N2O5 in the solution. Initially, the concentration of N2O5 is 2.33 mol L–1 and after 184 minutes, it is reduced to 2.08 mol L–1. The reaction takes place according to the equation
2 N2O5 (g) → 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g)
The rate of production of NO2 during this period is-
1. 5.72 × 10–3 mol L–1 min–1
