the equilibrium concentrations for the reaction between carbon monoxide and molecular chlorine to form cocl2 (g) at 74 degrees celsius are [co]= 0.012M and [cl2] = 0.054 M. if Kc = 210 at this temperature. calculate the equilibrium concentration of COCl2?

    The reaction between CO and Cl2 takes place as follows:

    CO + Cl2 > < COCl2

    Kc = [COCl2]/[CO][Cl2}

    Here Kc = 210

    At equilibrium

    [CO] = 0.012M; [Cl2] = 0.054M; [COCl2] = ?

    Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

    210 = [COCl2]/(0.012 x 0.054)

    Thus [COCl2] = 210 x 0.012 x 0.054 = 0.136M
