The rate constant $k$, for the reaction
$$
\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_{5(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+1 / 2 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}
$$
is $2.3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. Which equation given below describes the change of $\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]$ with time? $\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0$ and $\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t$ correspond to concentration of $\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5$ initially and at time $t$.

Options:
  • A $\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t=\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0+k t$
  • B $\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t=\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0 e^{k t}$
  • C $\log \left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t=\log \left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0+k t$
  • D $\ln \frac{\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0}{\left[\mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t}=k t$

The correct answer is: $\ln \frac{\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0}{\left[\mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t}=k t$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { } k=\frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{a(\text { initial })}{a-x(\text { after time } t)} \\
& k t=\ln \frac{\left[\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_0}{\left[\mathrm{~N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\right]_t}
\end{aligned}
$$
