First order kinetics states that:
Notice that we start from 1 atm which means [A]0 = 1 atm
Calculating for k:
The reaction SO2Cl2(g) → SO2 (g) + Cl2 (g) is first order in SO2 Cl2.
Using the following kinetic data, determine the magnitude of the first-order rate constant:
Time (s) | Pressure SO2Cl2 (atm) |
0 | 1.000 |
2500 | 0.947 |
5000 | 0.895 |
7500 | 0.848 |
10000 | 0.803 |
