Question

Consider the following reaction at 373 K:
COCl2(g) ⇄ CO(g) + Cl2(g) Kc= 2.9 x 10-10

The concentrations of the gases in a 1.00 L reaction flask are [COCl2] = 3.50 x 10-3 M,
[Cl2] = 3.25 x 10-6 M, and [CO] = 1.11 x 10-5 M.

1. Is the mixture of gases at equilibrium? The answer should be supported with
calculations.
2. If not, in which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?
