Time required to decompose SO_(2)Cl_(2) to half of the initial amount is 60 minutes .If the decomposition is a first order reaction ,calculate the rate constant of the reaction,=.

Answer»

Solution :60 minute =`60xx60` SEC.
But this time is `t_((1)/(2))` for half of the initial amount
`therefore t_((1)/(2)=60xx60` sec
For a FIRST order reaction
`K=(0.693)/(60xx60s)`
`=1.925xx10^(-4) s^(-1)`
