Question

What are the examples of first order reaction?

Answer 1

1. Decompostion of dinitrogen pentoxide

N₂O_2(g) → 2NO_2(g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)O_2(g)

2. Decomposition of thionylchloride

SO₂Cl_2(g) → SO_2(g) +  Cl_2(g)

3. Decomposition of H₂O₂ in aqueous solution

H₂O_2(aq) → H₂O₍₁₎ + \(\frac{1}{2}\)O_2(g)

4. Isomerisation of cyclopropane to propene
