The decomposition of NO2
2NO2(g) → 2NO(g) + O2(g)
is second-order in NO2. Given that the half-life for the inital concentration of NO2 equal to 0.848 M is 221 s, find the concentration of NO2 after 663 s.
The relationship between half life and initial concentration is given below
t 1/2 = 1 / K (A0)
221 = 1 / K ( 0.848)
K = 1 / 221(0.848)
K = 0.0053 M- s-
Now in order to find the concentration of NO2
1 / (At) - 1 / (A0) = Kt
1 /( At) = Kt + 1 /( Ao)
1 / (At) = 0.0053(663) + 1 / 0.848
1 /( At) = 4.71
( A t ) = 0.212M Answer
This will be the concentration after 663 sec
