Chemical Weapon Phosgene, COCl2, gained notoriety as a chemical weapon in World War I. Phosgene is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide with chlorine:
CO(g) + Cl2(g) <=> COCl2(g)
The value of Kc for this reaction is 5.0 at 600 K. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of the three gases if a reaction vessel initially contains a mixture of the reactants in which PCO = PCl2 = 0.265 atm and PCOCl2 = 0.000 atm?
