🤓 Based on our data, we think this question is relevant for Professor Bussey's class at UCSD.

###### FREE Expert Solution

Average rate = Δ[ N2O5 ] / 2Δt

Because we lose reactants and gain products, we are losing [N2O5], and our equation becomes:

Average rate = - Δ[ N2O5 ] / 2Δt

Also, remember that ΔN2O5 ]  and Δt = final - initial, and that whatever the coefficient we have for the reactant, we will put that number on the bottom!

###### Problem Details

The decomposition of N2O5 can be described by the equation

2N2O→ 4NO+ O2

Given these data for the reaction at 45 °C in carbon tetrachloride solution, calculate the average rate of reaction for each successive time interval.
