Cobalt has spilled into a pond and our task is to precipitate it out.

Your task is to choose a precipitation agent. It has been found that the cobalt is in the +2 state. After consulting your handy textbook, you see that the possible precipitants are carbonate, sulfide and hydroxide ions. Remember that the pH of the pond is already set.  

Based on what you know about equilibria, write the pertinent chemical reactions that would occur for each of the possible precipitants (not the precipitation reaction). Does the pH of the solution matter?  

a) Co+2 titrated with Na2S

b) Co+2 titrated with Na2CO3

c) Co+2 titrated with NaOH

Consider the following reaction: COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) If 6.56×10-3 moles of COCl2, 0.377 moles of CO, and 0.372 moles of Cl2 are at equilibrium in a 16.9 L container at 772 K, the value of the equilibrium constant, Kp, is

2.A student ran the following reaction in the laboratory at 597 K:

COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g)

When she introduced COCl2(g) at a pressure of 0.710 atm into a 1.00 L evacuated container, she found the equilibrium partial pressure of COCl2(g) to be 0.299 atm.  

Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kp, she obtained for this reaction.
