Time required to decompose SO(2) CI(2) t...

Time required to decompose `SO_(2) CI_(2)` to half of its initial amount is 60 min. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Rate constant, `k = (0.693)/(60" min")`
`= (0.693)/((60 xx 60)s) = 1.925 xx 10^(-4)" s"^(-1)`
