Transcribed Image Text:The gas phase decomposition of sulfuryl chloride at 600 K SO₂Cl2₂ (g) → SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g) is first order in SO₂ C12 with a rate constant of n-¹. 2.80 × 10- -3 min If the initial concentration of SO₂Cl2 is 0.00258 M, the concentration of SO₂ Cl2 will be 0.000359 M after min have passed.
Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the concept of first order reaction:

The given reaction SO2Cl2(g) -->SO2(g) + Cl2(g) is a first order reaction. We have to find the time in which the concentration of SO2Cl will be decreased from 0.00258 M to 0.000359 M
