In a study of the decomposition of nitrous oxide at 565 °C

N2O(g)N2(g) + ½ O2(g)

the following data were obtained:

[N2O], M 2.10 1.05 0.525 0.263
seconds 0 602 1.81×103 4.21×103



Hint: It is not necessary to graph these data.

(1)
The observed half life for this reaction when the starting concentration is 2.10 M is s and when the starting concentration is 1.05 M is s.

(2)
The average (1/[N2O]) / t from t = 0 s to t = 602 s is M-1 s-1.
The average (1/[N2O]) / t from t = 602 s to t = 1.81×103 s is M-1 s-1.

(3)
Based on these data, the rate constant for this  order reaction is M-1 s-1.
