For the decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide in carbon tetrachloride solution at 30 °C 2 N2O54 NO2 + O2 the average rate of disappearance of N2O5 over the time period from t = 0 min to t = 116 min is found to be 8.45×10-4 M min-1. The average rate of formation of O2 over the same time period is M min-1
