1. Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) decomposes to NO2 and O2 at relatively low temperatures in the reaction 2N2O5(soln) → 4NO2(soln) + O2(g) This reaction is carried out in a CCl4 solution at 45° C. The concentrations of N2O5 as a function of time are listed in the table. Plot a graph of the concentration versus t, ln (natural log) concentration versus t, and 1/concentration versus t. Graphically, determine the order of the reaction, write the rate law and calculate the value of the rate constant. What is the half-life for this reaction (at the initial concentration)? How long will take for 90% of the initial concentration of N2O5 to be converted to products?

2. 1, 3-Butadiene (CH2=CH-CH=CH2) is a volatile and reactive organic molecule used in the production of rubber. Above room temperature it reacts slowly to form products. Concentrations of 1,3-butadiene (C4H6) as a function of time at 326°C are listed in the table below. Graph the data as concentration versus t, ln (natural log) concentration versus t, and 1/concentration versus t. Graphically, determine the order of the reaction, write the rate law and calculate the value of the rate constant. What is the half-life for this reaction (at the initial concentration)? How long will take for 80% of the initial concentration of 1,3-Butadiene to be converted to products?
Time, s [C4H6],M
