Phosphine decomposes by the following reaction:
COCl2(g) <---> CO(g) + Cl2(g) Kc = 8.3 x 10-4
Calculate the concentration of each component when 2.55 g of phosphine decomposes in a 25.0mL flask.
mass of COCl2 = 2.55 g
moles of COCl2 = 2.55 / 98.92 = 0.0258 mol
concentration = 0.0258 / 0.025 = 1.03 M
COCl2 (g) <-------------> CO (g) + Cl2 (g)
1.03 0 0
1.03 - x x x
Kc = x^2 / 1.03 - x
8.3 x 10-4 = x^2 / 1.03 - x
x = 0.0292
concentration of compounds :
[COCl2] = 1.00 M
[CO] = 0.0292 M
[Cl2] = 0.0292 M
