Sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2) decomposes to sulfur dioxide (SO2) and chlorine (Cl2) by reaction in the gas phase. The following pressure data were obtained when a sample containing 5.00 x 10-2mol sulfuryl chloride was heated to 600.K in a 5.00 x 10-1-L container.
Time (hours):
0.00
1.00
2.00
4.00
8.00
16.00
Pso2cl2 (atm) :
4.93
4.26
3.52
2.53
1.30
0.34
Defining the rate as -∆SO2Cl2/∆t ,
a.determine the value of the rate constant for the decomposition of sulfuryl chloride at 600.K.
b.what is the half-life of the reaction?
c.what fraction of the sulfuryl chloride remains after 20.0 h?
