Benzene diazonium chloride in aqueous solution decomposes according to the equation C6H5N2ClC6H5Cl + N2. Starting with an initial concentration of 10 g L1, the volume of N2 gas obtained at 50 °C at different intervals of time was found to be as under:

t (min): 6 12 18 24 30
Volume of N2 (ml): 19.3 32.6 41.3 46.5 50.4 58.3
