At what time will the pressure of so₂cl₂ decline to 0.50 its initial value? express your answer using two significant figures.

The time is 0.69/k seconds

Explanation:

The following integrated first order rate law

ln[SO₂Cl₂] - ln[SO₂Cl₂]₀ = - k×t

where

[SO₂Cl₂] concentration at time t,

[SO₂Cl₂]₀ initial concentration,

k rate constant

Therefore, the time elapsed after a certain concentration variation is given by:

We could assume that SO₂Cl₂ behaves as a ideal gas mixture so partial pressure is proportional to concentration:

In conclusion,

t = ln( p(SO₂Cl₂)₀/p(SO₂Cl₂) )/k

for

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
