Is My Calculation of NO2 Produced from N2O5 Decomposition Correct?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the calculation of NO2 produced from the decomposition of N2O5, with a balanced equation indicating that 2 moles of N2O5 yield 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2. The user calculated that 1.618 g of O2 corresponds to 9.30 g of NO2, using the molar masses of O2 and NO2 for conversions. Other participants confirm the correctness of both the final answer and the calculation method employed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate stoichiometric conversions in chemical reactions. Overall, the calculations and methodology are validated by peers in the discussion.

2N2O5 heat-- 4NO2 + O2

1.618 g of O2 are produced, how much NO2 in grams are produced? I got 9.30 g NO2, is that right? I used 1 mol O2 = 32 g O2, and 1 mol NO2 = 46g NO2. I first converted g O2 to Mol O2 then used the balanced equation to convert from mol O2 to mol NO2, then converted to NO2 to grams. If anyone can tell me if I did this right I would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with both your final answer as well as your method used to obtain it.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
