Question

The gas-phase decomposition of N2O5 is a first-order process with a rate constant of 1.50 x 10-3 s-1at 55ºC. The decomposition reaction is
N2O5(g) → 2NO2(g) + O2(g)
If 2.0 g of N2O5 is placed in vessel 1 and 1.0 g of N2O5in vessel 2 and the vessels are at the same temperature (55ºC) and the same pressure, how much time is required for half of the N2O5 to decompose in each vessel?
A) Vessel 1 requires the same amount of time as vessel 2.
B) Vessel 1 requires twice as much time as vessel 2.
C) Vessel 1 requires three times as much time as vessel 2.
D) Vessel 1 requires four times as much time as vessel 2.
E) Vessel 2 requires twice as much time as vessel 1.
