Dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5 (molar mass= 108.01 g/mol) is a colorless solid that sublimes around room temperature to produce a colorless gas. At higher temperatures, the dinitrogen pentoxide gas is unstable and spontaneously decomposes according to the following reaction: 2 N2O5 (8) 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g) Consider a 15.0-L sealed cylinder at 35.0C that contains 400.0 g of solid N2O5. a. What is the total pressure in the cylinder after the solid N2O5 sublimes and reaction above goes to completion? The 15.0-L can withstand pressures up to 20.0 x 103 torr - above these pressures, the cylinder will burst. b. If the cylinder with the completed reaction is heated to 200.0C, will the cylinder burst?
