Find the molarity (mol/L) for N2O5, this will be your initial concentration, and then use the integrated first order rate law to find the concentration after 6.6 mins.

okay i got .009 molarity N2O5, k= 6.82*10-3 and 6.6 mins

t1/2=.693/k

im having trouble understanding how i get moles using this

use

Ln[N2O5]= -kt+ Ln[N2O5]0

convert 6.6 minutes to seconds and plug it in and you'll get the concentration of N2O5 at that time. Then you can get moles from there.

now i got

-(6.82*10-3)(396sec)+ln(2.02*10-2/2.2L)=-7.41

then e-7.41=6.05*10-4M

then i use the 2.2 and multiply it by 6.05*10-4,to get mols right?
