Half life
« on: September 09, 2010, 02:05:11 AM »
Just one other question I had; for the decomposition of N2O5 --> 2NO2 + 1/2O2 what is the rate constant, k, for the first order decomposition of N2O5 at 25C, if the half like of N2O5 is 4.03x10^4s at that temperature.
Is it just as simple as 0.683/4.03x10^4 = 1.72x10^-5s^-1? perhaps there is more to it I have missed?

No, it's OK  ;)
