Question

the gas phase of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO2CL2(g) Arrow SO2(g) + Cl2(g) is first order in SO2Cl2. During one experiment it was found that when the initial concentration of SO2Cl2 was 2.88x10^-3 M, the concentration of SO2Cl2 dropped to 8.04x10^-4 M after 345 min had passed. Based on this experiment, the rate constant of the reaction is the gas phase of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO2CL2(g) Arrow SO2(g) + Cl2(g) is first order in SO2Cl2.

Explanation / Answer

K   = 2.303/t log[A0]/[A]

[A0] = 2.88*10-3 M

[A]    = 8.04*10-4 M

    = 2.303/345 log0.00288/0.000804

   =2.303*0.5541/345   = 0.003698min-1
