1 of 1 Assignment 3 (NCHE312) 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) PTotal (kPa) Pso₂cl₂ Ps0₂ Pclz 0 11.07 3 6 14.79 17.26 9 18.90 12 19.99 15 20.71 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 E, and the initial pressure as Po, the total pressure is given by: Ptotal = Pso₂Cl₂ + Pso₂+ Pcl₂ = (Po-5)+5+5 Convert your work into a single PDF file and upload it into your eFundi Dropbox folder.
