Consider the formation of phosgene: CO(g) + Cl₂(g) = COCl₂(g) Into a sealed 1.50 L flask, chemist placed 3.00 x 10-² mol of phosgene gas (COCl₂) and heated it to 800.0 K. After the system reached equilibrium, the pressure of CO was found to be 0.504 bar. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction. Calculate the initial pressure (in bar) of the phosgene gas. R = 0.08314 L·bar/mol K.

Second time asking, please give correct answer this time and I can't understand handwriting clearly so please type answer

Consider the formation of phosgene:
CO(g) + Cl₂(g) = COCl₂(g) Into a sealed
1.50 L flask, chemist placed 3.00 × 10-²
mol of phosgene gas (COCl₂) and
heated it to 800.0 K. After the system
reached equilibrium, the pressure of
CO was found to be 0.504 bar.
Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp
for this reaction. Calculate the initial
pressure (in bar) of the phosgene gas.
R = 0.08314 L.bar/mol K.
