CAPE Chemistry Unit 1 · 2007 · Paper 2 · Question 5(b)(i)

Sulphur dichlorine oxide dissociates according to the following equation: SO₂Cl₂(g) → SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g). The data in Table 1 was obtained from a kinetic study of the variation in the rate of dissociation of SO₂Cl₂ with concentration at a constant temperature.

Use the data given in Table 1 to calculate the order of the reaction with respect to the SO₂Cl₂.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
