SO2Cl2 decomposes in a first-order process with a half-life of 4.88 Ã 103 s. If the original concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.062 M, how many seconds will it take for the SO2Cl2 to reach 0.0064 M?
When 2.00 mol of SO2Cl2 is placed in a 2.00-L flask at 303 K, 56% of the SO2Cl2 decomposes to SO2 and Cl2:
SO2Cl2(g) SO2(g) + Cl2(g)
(a) Calculate Kc for this reaction at this temperature. (b) Calculate Kp for this reaction at 303 K. (c) According to Le Châtelier’s principle, would the percent of SO2Cl2 that decomposes increase, decrease or stay the same if the mixture were transferred to a 15.00-L vessel? (d) Use the equilibrium constant you calculated above to determine the percentage of SO2Cl2 that decomposes when 2.00 mol of SO2Cl2 is placed in a 15.00-L vessel at 303 K.
SO2Cl2 decomposes by a first order reaction with a rate constant of 7.92x10-2 hr-1 at 3200C. How long will it take for 90% of the SO2Cl2 intially present in a sample to decompose at this temperature? Answer is 29.1 hr please show your work.
