Problem:
The thermal decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the gas phase at
1030oK is studied in a constant volume vessel at various initial
pressures of N2O. The half-life data so obtained are as follows:
po (mm Hg) 52.5 139 290 360
t1/2 (sec) 860 470 255 212
2N2 + O2
Determine the rate equation that fits the data
