Question

Carbonyl chloride (COCl2), also called phosgene, was used in World War I as a poisonous gas. The equilibrium concentrations for the reaction between carbon monoxide and molecular chlorine to form carbonyl chloride at a certain temperature are 

[CO] = 0.0240 M,

 

[Cl2] = 0.0480 M,

 and 

[COCl2] = 0.189 M.


 
CO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇆ COCl2(g)
 
Calculate the equilibrium constant (Kc).
