The decomposition of SO₂Cl₂ to SO₂ and Cl₂ is first-order in SO₂Cl₂.

Rate = k[SO₂Cl₂] where k = 0.17/hr

(a) What is the rate of decomposition when [SO₂Cl₂] =0.010 M?
(b) What is the half-life of the reaction?
(c) If the initial pressure of SO₂Cl₂ in a flask is 0.050 atm, what is the pressure of all gases (i.e., the total pressure) in the flask after the reaction has proceeded for one half-life?
