Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is of first order reaction, calculate the rate constant for the reaction.

Answer»

t1/2 = 60 min
For first order reaction,
k = \(\frac { 0.693 }{ t_{ 1/2 } } \)
\(\frac { 0.693 }{ 60 }\)
k = 0.01155 min-1 = 1.155 x 10-2
\(\frac { 1.155 }{ 60 } \times 10^{ -2 }\) s-1
k = 1.925 x 10-4 s-1
