Question

The decomposition of N₂O₅ occurs as
2N₂O₅ → 4NO₂ + O₂ and follows Ist order kinetics,
hence:
(a) the reaction is unimolecular
(b) the reaction is bimolecular
(c) t₁/₂ α a⁰
(d) None of these

Answer 1

The reaction is bi-molecular.

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

The reaction is given below:

When N2O5 decomposes nitrogen dioxide and oxygen molecules are obtained as by product.

2N2O5  ---> 4 NO2 + O2

The reaction follows first order kinetics and the reaction is bi-molecular because it involves 2 molecules of N2O3 in the reaction.

Thus the reaction is bi-molecular.
