The following data were obtained during the first order thermal decomposition of `SO_(2)Cl_(2)` at a constant volume `SO_(2)Cl_(2)(g)to SO_(2)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)` Calculate the rate of the reaction when total pressure is 0.65 atmA. `0.35 atmS^(-1)`B. `2.235 xx10^(-3)atmS^(-1)`C. `7.8xx10^(-4) atm s^(-1)`D. `1.55 xx10^(-4) atm S^(-1)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
` SO_(2) Cl_(2 ) to SO_(2) +Cl_(2)`
initial pressure ` P_(0) ,0,0`
Pressure pressure `P_(0)-p " " P" " p`
Let initial pressure `p_(0) prop R_(0)`
pressure at time t, `P_(t) =p_(0)-p+p+p=P_(0) +p`
Pressure of reactants at time t ` p_(0)-P=2P_(0)-p_(1)prop R`
`k=(2.303)/(t) log ""(p_(0))/(2p_(0)-p_(t))`
` =(2.303)/(100) log""(0.5)/(2xx0.5-0.6)=(2.303)/(100) log 1.25 `
`=2.318 xx10^(-3)S^(-1)`
pressure of `SO_(2)Cl_(2)` at time `t (P_(SO_(2)Cl_(2))) `
`=2p_(0)-P_(t) =2xx0.50-0.65 atm + 0.35 atm `
rate at that time `=k xxp_(SO_(2)Cl_(2))`
`=(2.318xx10^(-3))xx(0.35)=7.8 xx10^(-4) atmS^(-1)`
