The rate coefficient for decomposition of azomethane at 425 °C is 0.68 s-1. CH3N=NCH3(g) N2(g) + C2H6(g)
a. Based on the units of the rate coefficient, is the reaction zeroth-, first-, or second order?
b. If 2.0 g azomethane is palced in a 2.0 L flask and heated to 425°C, what mass of azomethane remains after 5.0 s?
c. How long does it take for the mass of azomethane to drop to 0.24 g?
d. What mass of nitrogen would be formed in the flask after 0.5 s of reaction?
