Dinitrogen pentoxide dioxide

Dinitrogen pentoxide gas decomposes to form nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The reaction is first-order and has a rate constant of 0.247 h1 at 25°C. If a 2.50-L flask originally contains N205 at a pressure of 756 mm Hg at 25°C, then how many moles of 02 are formed after 135 minutes (Hint. First write a balanced equation for the decomposition.)... 

Let s apply the preceding two paragraphs to an example problem. The first-order decomposition of gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide, N205, to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and oxygen, 02, has a rate constant of 4.9 X 10 4 s 2 at a certain temperature. Calculate the half-life of this reaction.

The polymers 1, 3 and 4 were 0-nitrated with nitric acid to give products containing nitrogen contents of 11.6 %, 19.9 % and 9.55 % respectively. Polymer 2, on the other hand, was nitrated with dinitrogen pentoxide in liquid carbon dioxide. Evaluations of these energetic polymers indicate that polymer 1 is a possible candidate for use in insensitive munitions.

The stoichiometry is more complicated here because 2 mol of dinitrogen pentoxide produce 4 mol of nitrogen dioxide and 1 mol of oxygen. So, it is no longer true that the rate of decrease of the reactant concentration equals the rates of increase of the product concentrations. However, this difficulty can be overcome if, in order to define the reaction rate, we divide by the coefficients from the balanced equation. For this reaction, we get the following.
