For the hypothetical second-order reaction: A → products, the general rate law is: rate = k[A]^2. How long is the third half-life of the reaction if [A]0 is 0.080 M and the first half-life is 22 minutes?

Consider the data presented in Exercise 14.19. (a) By using appropriate graphs, determine whether the reaction is first order or second order.

(b) How can you calculate the rate constant for a first-order reaction from the graph you made in part (a)?

As described in Exercise 14.41, the decomposition of sulfuryl chloride (SO₂Cl₂) is a first-order process. The rate constant for the decomposition at 660 K is 4.5 × 10^-2 s^-1. (a) If we begin with an initial SO₂Cl₂ pressure of 450 torr, what is the partial pressure of this substance after 60 s?
