Question: As discussed in the text, the total system pressure can be used to monitor the progress of a chemical reaction. Consider the following reaction: SO

As discussed in the text, the total system pressure can be used to monitor the progress of a chemical reaction. Consider the following reaction: SO2Cl2(g) †’ SO2(g) + Cl2(g). The reaction is initiated, and the following data are obtained:

Time (h) 3 12 6. 15 18.90 20.71 Protal (kPa) 11.07 14.79 17.26 19.99

a. Is the reaction first or second order with respect to SO2Cl2 ?

b. What is the rate constant for this reaction?

Time (h) 3 12 6. 15 18.90 20.71 Protal (kPa) 11.07 14.79 17.26 19.99
