For SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g) SO₂Cl₂(g) , Kc = 16 at 400 K. If 0.3 mol SO₂ and 0.2 mol Cl₂ are in a 1 L vessel, what is [SO₂Cl₂] a

Initial: [SO₂] = 0.3 M , [Cl₂] = 0.2 M , [SO₂Cl₂] = 0 . Let x = [SO₂Cl₂] , [SO₂] = 0.3 - x , [Cl₂] = 0.2 - x . Kc = ([SO₂Cl₂]/[SO₂][Cl₂]) = (x/(0.3 - x)(0.2 - x)) = 16 , x = 16 (0.06 - 0.5x + x²) , x ≈ 0.18 M .
