- Lexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bulletproof glass. One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene (COCI2), an extremely poisonous gas. Phosgene decomposes by the reaction COCl2(g)CO(g)+Cl2(g) for which KP = 6.8 109 at 100C. If pure phosgene at an initial pressure of 1.0 atm decomposes, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.arrow_forwardLexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bullet-proof glass.
