The reaction SO_(2)Cl_(2) to SO_(2)+Cl_(2) is a first order reaction with half-life 3.15xx10^(4)s at 320^(@)C. What percentage of SO_(2)Cl_(2) would be decomposed on heating at 320^(@)C for 90 minutes?

Answer»

Solution :From half-life data, we can OBTAIN the value of k
`t_(1//2)=(0.693)/(k) or k= (0.693)/(3.15xx10^(4)s)`
Applying first order equation and substituting the values, we GET
`k=(2.303)/(t)"log"([A]_(0))/([A])`
or `(0.693)/(3.15xx10^(4)s)=(2.303)/(90xx60s)"log"(100)/([A])`
or `"log"(100)/([A])=(0.693 XX 90 xx 60)/(2.303xx3.15xx10^(4))=(0.301xx5400)/(3.15xx10^(4))=(16.254)/(315)=0.0516`
or `(100)/([A])="Antilog "0.0516=1.126`
or `[A]=(100)/(1.126=88.8%`
PERCENTAGE of `SO_(2)Cl_(2)` decomposed `=100-88.8=11.2%`.
