Question

For CO(g) + Cl₂(g) <=> COCl₂(g) , Kc = 25 at 500 K. If 0.2 mol CO and 0.3 mol Cl₂ are in a 1 L vessel, what is [COCl₂] at equilibrium?

Explanation

Initial: [CO] = 0.2 M , [Cl₂] = 0.3 M , [COCl₂] = 0 . Let x = [COCl₂] , [CO] = 0.2 - x , [Cl₂] = 0.3 - x . Kc = ([COCl₂]/[CO][Cl₂]) = (x/(0.2 - x)(0.3 - x)) = 25 , x ≈ 0.18 M .
