Question

The reaction shown below has an equilibrium constant value of Kp=5.50 at a certain temperature.

CO (g) + Cl₂ (g) ⇄ COCl₂ (g)     Kp = 5.50

A container is pressurized with CO and Cl₂ until the pressure of CO is 0.450 atm and the pressure of Cl₂ is 0.200 atm. Calculate the pressure of COCl₂ in the container when the system reaches equilibrium.

Answer:    atm COCl₂

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reaction -

CO (g) + Cl2 (g)  COCl2 (g)

Given data,

Kp = 5.50

p(CO)  = 0.450 atm

p (Cl2) = 0.200 atm
