Answer to Question #37834 in Physical Chemistry for Mel

Question

Given the equation : COCl2--> CO + Cl2
a. A reaction mixture initally contains 1.6 M COCl2. Draw an "ICE" box that gives the concentrations of all reactants and products of equilbrium in terms of x.

b. Kc for the reaction at this temperature is 8.33 x 10^-4. Determine the equilbrium concentrations of all reactants and products using your equilbrum constant expression and ICE box results. You may make the assumption that the answer is negligible compared to 1.6
