Complete question:
The decomposition of SO2Cl2 is first order in SO2Cl2 and has a rate constant of 1.44×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at a certain temperature.
If the initial concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.125 M , what is the concentration of SO2Cl2 after 210 s ?
Answer:
After 210 s the concentration of SO2Cl2 will be 0.121 M
Explanation:
where;
At is the concentration of A at a time t
A₀ is the initial concentration of A
k is rate constant = 1.44×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹
t is time
ln(At/A₀) = -( 1.44×10⁻⁴)t
ln(At/0.125) = -( 1.44×10⁻⁴)210
ln(At/0.125) = -0.03024
At/0.125 = 0.9702
At = 0.125*0.9702
At = 0.121 M
Therefore, after 210 s the concentration of SO2Cl2 will be 0.121 M
