Chapter 15, Problem 50E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the rate constant should be calculated. Number of moles of SO₂Cl₂ remain after 12.5 h should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Integrated rate law for first order reaction

First order: $\ln {\left[\text{A}\right]}_t=\ln {\left[\text{A}\right]}_0-kt$

Half-life of a first order reaction can be calculated by,

  $t_{1/2}=\frac{\ln 2}{k}$
