Question

The total pressure of the following system is used to monitor the progress of the chemical reaction
SO2Cl2(g) → SO2(g) + Cl2(g)
The reaction is initiated, and the following data are obtained:
Time (h)
0

PTotal (kPa)
11.07
14.79

??????2????2
??????2
??????2
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 ξ, and the 
initial pressure as P0, the total pressure is given by:
???????????? = ??????2????2 + ??????2 + ??????2 = (??0 − ξ) + ξ + ξ
