Question #235790



b) Nitrous oxide decomposes according to the second order rate equation 2N₂0→2N₂ +0₂ The rate constant is 977 cm³/ (mol. s) at 895°C. Calculate the fraction decomposed at 1s, 10s, and at 10 min in a constant volume batch reactor. The initial pressure (all N₂O) is 1 atm.

First, it is worth noting that the nitrous oxide occurs in the gas phase and is approximate of a

second order with respect to A. When the reaction is carried out at 1 atm pressure in a constant

volume batch reactor and the pressure is increased by 30% in 150 seconds, estimate the time

required for the same conversion if the reaction is carried out in the constant pressure batch

reactor.


Further,


The reaction is presented with the equation:


2N₂0→2N₂ +0₂


The rate constant is 977 cm³/ (mol. s) at 895°C. 


The initial pressure (all N₂O): 1 atm
