The second-order decomposition of NO2 has a rate constant of 0.255 M-1s-1. How much NO2 decomposes in 8.00 s if the initial concentration of NO2 (1.00 L volume) is 1.33 M

0.9718M

Explanation:

Rate constant, k =  0.255 M-1s-1

time, t = 8.00 s

Initial concentration, [A]o = 1.33 M

Final concentration, [A] = ?

These quantities are represented by the equation;

1 / [A] = 1 / [A]o + kt

1 / [A] = 1 /1.33 + (0.255 * 8)

1 / [A] = 0.7519 + 2.04

[A] = 1 / 2.7919 = 0.3582 M

How much of NO2 decomposed is obtained from the change in concentration;

Change in concentration = Initial - Final

Change = 1.33 - 0.3582 = 0.9718M

im pretty sure its b
