Pso₂Cl₂
Pso₂
Pcl₂
Additional information:
As the reaction proceeds, stoichiometry dictates that for every mole of SO₂Cl₂ that dissociates one
mole of each of SO₂ and Cl₂ is produced. Defining the extent of dissociation/reaction as, and the
initial pressure as Po, the total pressure is given by:
Ptotal = Pso₂Cl₂ + Pso₂+ Pal₂ = (Po-5)+5+5
a) Calculate the pressure of each component at each time interval, i.e. complete the above table.
b) Use a graphical method and determine what the order of the reaction is with respect to SO,Cl₂?
(i) Show the plot as well as the linear fit of the data. (ii) Motivate your answer.
c) Determine the rate constant for this reaction.
