NO2 required for a reaction is produced by decomposition of N2O5 in CCl4 as by equation 2N2O5(g) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3 mol L-1 and it is 2.75 mol L-1 after 30 minutes. The rate of formation of NO2 is x 10-3 mol L-1 min-1, value of x is . (nearest integer)
For a reaction taking place in three steps at same temperature, overall rate constant K = K1 K2K3. If Ea1, Ea2 and Ea3 are 40, 50 and 60 kJ/mol respectively, the overall Ea is kJ/mol.
