Thermal decomposition of N 2 O 5 occurs as per the equation below : 2 N 2 O 5 → 4 NO 2 + O 2 The correct statement is
Options
- AO 2 production rate is four times the NO 2 production rate
- BO 2 production rate is the same as the rate of disappearance of N 2 O 5
- Crate of disappearance of N 2 O 5 is one-fourth of NO 2 production rate
- Drate of disappearance of N 2 O 5 is twice the O 2 production rate
Correct answer
D. rate of disappearance of N 2 O 5 is twice the O 2 production rate
Step-by-step solution
Rate of disappearance of N 2 O 5 and rate of formation of O 2 , must be in 2 : 1 ratio as per the stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 N 2 O 5 ⟶ 4 NO 2 + O 2
