For a Ist order decomposition of SO2Cl2(g), to SO2(g) and Cl2(g), an experiment is carried out and the following graph is plotted: SO2Cl2(g)→ SO2(g) + Cl2(g) What is the rate constant (sec−1)?
The following data were obtained during the first order thermal decomposition of SO2Cl2 at a constant volume.
