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
2. 2.72 × 10^–3 mol L^–1 min^–1
3. 1.72 × 10^–5 mol L^–1 min^–1
4. 6.72 × 10^–4 mol L^–1 min^–1
