Question

The following rate constants were obtained in an experiment in which the decomposition of gaseous N2O5 was studied as a function of temperature. The products were NO_2 and NO3.

a. True, False, True
b. Rate constants, Decomposition, Gaseous
c. NO_2, NO3, N2O5
d. None of the above

Answer 1

The rate constants for the decomposition of gaseous N2O5 to NO2 and NO3 at different temperatures determine the speed of the reaction. Option a is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, we are provided with the rate constants for the decomposition of gaseous N2O5 to NO2 and NO3 at different temperatures.

The rate constants are 1.66 L/mol/s at 650K and 7.39 L/mol/s at 700K.

These rate constants represent the speed of the reaction at the respective temperatures.

A higher rate constant indicates a faster reaction rate, while a lower rate constant indicates a slower reaction rate.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is a. True, False, True, as the statement about rate constants in the given experiment is true.
