2. The decomposition of SO₂Cl₂ is a first-order reaction, S₂OCL 2 (g) -> SO₂ (g) + Cl₂ (g). The rate constant for the reaction is 2.8 x 103 min¹¹ at 600 K. If the initial concentration of SO₂Cl₂ is 1.24 x 103 M, how long will it take for the concentration to drop to 75% ? what is the expected half-life for this reaction?

hello i am struggling with this one, can someone please help me?

2. The decomposition of SO₂Cl2 is a first-order reaction,
$₂OCL2 (g) -----> SO₂ (g) + Cl₂ (g). The rate constant for the reaction is 2.8 x 10³ min-¹ at 600 K.
If the initial concentration of SO₂Cl₂ is 1.24 x 10-3³ M, how long will it take for the concentration to drop to
75% ? what is the expected half-life for this reaction?
