Phosgene (carbonyl chloride), COCl2, is an extremely toxic gas that is used in manufacturing certain dyes and plastics. Phosgene can be produced by reacting carbon monoxide and chlorine gas at high temperatures:
CO(g)+Cl2(g)âCOCl2(g)
Carbon monoxide and chlorine gas are allowed to react in a sealed vessel at 459 âC . At equilibrium, the concentrations were measured and the following results obtained:
Gas Partial Pressure
(atm) CO 0.720 Cl2 1.12 COCl2 0.180
What is the equilibrium constant, Kp, of this reaction?
- - -
Part B
The following reaction was performed in a sealed vessel at 736 âC :
H2(g)+I2(g)â2HI(g)
Initially, only H2 and I2 were present at concentrations of [H2]=3.50M and [I2]=2.05M. The equilibrium concentration of I2 is 0.0200 M . What is the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at this temperature?
