Question
Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.
Solution
We know that for a 1st order reaction,
k = `0.693/("t"_(1//2))`
= `0.693/(60 "min")`
= 1.155 × 10−2 min−1
or, k = `0.693/(60 xx 60 "s")`
= 1.925 × 10−4 s−1
