Question

SO2Cl2 (g)SO2 (g) + Cl2(g).

The  reaction is initiated, and the following data are obtained.

            Time (h)                        Ptotal (kPa)

  • 07

3                               14.79

6                               17.26

9                               18.90

12                                19.99

15                                20.71

 

  1. In order to use this data, you will need to separate out the pressure that is just due to SO2Cl2. Obviously at time 0, all the pressure is due to SO2Cl2.   At time 3 hours some of the SO2Cl2 has decomposed and given rise to SO2 and Cl2 so the pressure of 14.79 is due to SO2Cl2, SO2 and Cl2.  You can set up an expression to find x (the amount of SO2Cl2) that has decomposed in order to get the actual pressure due to SO2Cl2 at 3 hours.  You will need to do this for each time.  Make sure you are just getting the pressure of SO2Cl2 for each data point not the total pressure!
