Question

The decomposition of nitrous oxide at 565 °C

N2O(g) ----> N2(g) + ½ O2(g)

is second order in N2O with a rate constant of 2.20×10-2 M-1 s-1

If the initial concentration of N2O is 0.400 M,  what will the concentration of N2O (in M, to three significant figures) remain after 25.0 seconds have passed.
