- At a certain temperature, K=0.29 for the decomposition of two moles of iodine trichloride, ICl3(s), to chlorine and iodine gases. The partial pressure of chlorine gas at equilibrium is three times that of iodine gas. What are the partial pressures of iodine and chlorine at equilibrium?arrow_forwardWrite an equation for an equilibrium system that would lead to the following expressions (ac) for K.
