Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reaction is

COCl2(0.738-x) = CO(x)+ Cl2(x)

Let us consider the disassociation constant to be x then at equilibrium pressure of CO= x and pressure of Cl2=x.and presssure of COCl2= 0.738-x 

But pressure of COCl2= 0.374 atm, so 0.738-x= 0.374, x=0.364 atm .

SO KP=( x×x)/0.738-x= (0.364×0.364)/0.374= 0.354
