The decomposition of sulfuryl chloride (SO2CI2) is a first-order process. The rate constant for the decomposition at 660 K is 4.5 10-2 s-1. (a) If we begin with an initial SO2Cl2 pressure of 335 torr, what is the pressure of this substance after 61 s? 22.40 is wrong. Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. torr (b) At what time will the pressure of SO2Cl2 decline to one eighth its initial value? 26.20 is wrong Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. s By what factor will the pressure of sulfuryl chloride decrease after 8 half lives?
