Earlier in the chapter we mentioned the decomposition of N₂O₅:

Consider the following data for the kinetics of this reaction:

Determine the rate law and rate constant for this reaction at the temperature of these experiments.

Strategy To establish the rate law, determine the order with respect to the reactant by noticing how the rate changes with changing concentration. Write the rate law and calculate k by substituting the concentration and rate from one of the experiments in the rate law.
