Problem
The decomposition reaction 2N₂O₅(g) → 2N₂O₄(g) + O₂(g) is started in a closed cylinder under isothermal isochoric condition at an initial pressure of 1 atm. After Y × 10³ s, the pressure inside the cylinder is found to be 1.45 atm. If the rate constant of the reaction is 5 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, assuming ideal gas behavior, the value of Y is _____.
