following reaction is first order in N2O5: N2O5(g)→NO3(g)+NO2(g) The rate constant for the reaction at a certain temperature is 0.053 s−1. A) Calculate the rate of the reaction when [N2O5]= 0.055 mol L−1 . Express your answer using two significant figures. B) What would the rate of the reaction be at the same concentration as in part a if the reaction were second order? (Assume the same numerical value for the rate constant with the appropriate units.) Express your answer using two significant figures.
