Question

The decomposition of sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2) is a first-order process. The rate constant for the decomposition at 660 K is 4.5  10-2 s-1

 

(a) If we begin with an initial SO2Cl2 pressure of 340. torr, what is the pressure of this substance after 70. s?

(b) At what time will the pressure of SO2Cl2 decline to one half its initial value?

 

By what factor will the pressure of sulfuryl chloride decrease after 4 half lives? Note: The answer wants this value: (340. torr)/value = final pressure after decay
