2N2O5 ---> 4NO2 + O2

Assuming a 1st-order decomposition:

-d[N2O5]/dt = k[N2O5]

integrating:

[N2O5]/[N2O5]o = e^(-kt)

[N2O5]/2 = e^[-3.38*10^(-5) sec^(-1)](10)(60sec) =0.9799

[N2O5] = 1.960

at t = 0 there are 2 moles
at t= 10 min there are 1.960 + 5/2(2-1.960) = 2.06 moles

P10 = (moles10)/(moles0)Po = (2.06/2)500atm = 515 atm

This assumes there is no heat of reaction effect.

This is the final pressure in the constant volume reaction vessel. The partial pressure of just the N2O5 would be:

[(1.96)/2.06](515) = 490 atm
