Expert Solution
Step 1

The given data is as follows:

The half life of the reaction = 8.75 h

The rate constant of the first order reaction (K) = 2.20×10-5  s-1

The initial pressure of SOCl2 = 791 torr

Temperature = 320 °C=320+273=593 K

The volume of the container = 1.25 L

The number of molecules after time 11.7 h = ?
