Carbon monoxide and chlorine gas react to produce COCl2 gas. The Kp for the reaction is 1.49 × 108 at 100.0 °C: In an equilibrium mixture of the three gases, PCO, = PCl2 = 7.70 × 10-4 atm. The partial pressure of the product, phosgene (COCl2), is atm. Use the assumption that change in x is small so you do not have to use the quadratic.

Explanation:

At equilibrium, carbon monoxide (CO) would react with chlorine gas according to the equation below:

CO (g) + Cl₂ (g)   ⇒ COCl₂ (g)

The equilibrium constant Kp, which is a ratio of the partial pressure of the product to that of the reactants is obtained from the equation below:

Kp = PCOCL / PCO.PCl₂

From the question given,

Kp = 1.49 x 10⁸ t 100° C

PCO = 7.70 X 10⁻⁴ atm

PCl₂ = 7.70 x 10⁻⁴ atm

It therefore implies that,

1.49 x 10⁸  = P(COCl₂) / (7.70 x 10⁻⁴). (7.70 x 10⁻⁴)

P(COCl₂) = 1.49 x 10⁸) . (7.70 x 10⁻⁴) . (7.70 x 10⁻⁴)

P (COCl₂) = 88.34 atm

The partial pressure P(COCl₂) of the product phosgene (COCl₂) is 88.34 atm

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
