 Topic 5 : First order thermal decomposition of gaseous compound

1. Consoder the following first order thermal decomposition of SO2Cl2 at a constant volume:

SO2Cl2 (g) --> SO2 (g) + Cl2(g)

If the total pressure of the gases is found to be 200 torr after 10 s and 300 torr upon complete decomposition of SO2Cl2. Calculate rate constant.
