The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide $(N_2O_5)$ follows first order rate law. What will be the rate constant from the given data?
At $t = 800 \ s$,$[N_2O_5] = 1.45 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
At $t = 1600 \ s$,$[N_2O_5] = 0.88 \ mol \ L^{-1}$

$A$ flask contains a mixture of compounds $A$ and $B.$ Both compounds decompose by first-order kinetics. The half-lives for $A$ and $B$ are $300 \ s$ and $180 \ s,$ respectively. If the concentrations of $A$ and $B$ are equal initially,the time required for the concentration of $A$ to be four times that of $B$ (in $s$): (Use $\ln 2 = 0.693$)
