Consider the following equilibrium system:

COCl2(g) <----> CO(g) + Cl2(g)

A 10.00 L evacuated flask is filled with 0.4121 mol COCl2(g) at 297.9 K. The temperature is then raised to 606.9 K, where the decomposition of COCl2 gas takes place to an appreciable extent. When equilibrium is established, the total pressure in the flask is 3.000 atm.

What is the value of the equilbrium constant in terms of concentrations, Kc, at 606.9 K?

Kc =_______

Solutions

Expert Solution

        COCl2(g) <----> CO(g) + Cl2(g)

initial 2.05 atm         0      0

change    - x            +x      +x

equil    2.05-x           x       x

Kp = pCl2*pCO/pCOCL2


initial pressure of COCl2 = nRT/V

                          = 0.4121*0.0821*606.9/10

              = 2.05 atm

Finally,total pressure = 3 atm

       3 = 2.05-x+x+x

x = 0.95 atm

so that,

Kp = 0.95*0.95/(2.05-0.95) = 0.82

Kp = Kc*(RT)^Dn

Dn = 2-1 = 1

0.82 = Kc*(0.0821*606.9)^1

Kc = 0.0164

At 100.0 C, the equilibrium constant for the reaction: CO (g) + Cl2 (g) <--> COCl2 (g) has a value of 4.6 x 109. If 0.40 mol of COCl2 is placed into a 10.0 L flask at 100.0 C, what will be the equilibrium concentration of all species? (A simplifying approximation that will make the solution of the resulting equation easier is to note that x is much less than 0.040mol/L. This means that 0.040 -x is approximately 0.040.)
