Given-

60 mins

Using the formula for half life, , we get,

∴ k = 1.155 × 10^-2 min^-1

The rate constant of the reaction, k is 1.155 × 10^-2 min^-1

Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.
