The gas phase decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide at 335 K N2O5(g)2 N02(g) + ½ O2(g) is first order in N2O5. During one experiment it was found that when the initial concentration of N,O5 was 0.129 M, the concentration of N,O5 dropped to 1.81×102 M after 294 s had passed. Based on this experiment, the rate constant for the reaction is
