- 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_forwardIn a 3.0-L vessel, the following equilibrium partial pressures are measured: N2, 190 torr; H2, 317 torr; NH3, 1.00103 torr. N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) (a) How will the partial pressures of H2, N2, and NH3 change if H2 is removed from the system? Will they increase, decrease, or remain the same? (b) Hydrogen is removed from the vessel until the partial pressure of nitrogen, at equilibrium, is 250 torr.
