Rate Constant

Post by SquirrelGirl »

4) Sulfuryl chloride undergoes first-order decomposition at 320 degrees Celcius with a half-life of 8.75 hours.
SO2Cl2 (g) --> SO2 (g) + Cl2 (g)
What is the value of the rate constant, k, in s^-1? If the initial pressure of SO2Cl2 is 791 torr and the decomposition occurs in a 1.25 L container, hhow many molecules of SO2Cl2 remain after 12.5 hours?
