Question

I am stuck on this, can someone please explain how to solve this?

 In torr, what is the partial pressure of SO2Cl2 in this mixture?   

**Chemical Equilibrium Reaction**

The given reaction at equilibrium is as follows:

\[ \text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons \text{SO}_2 (g) + \text{Cl}_2 (g) \]

The equilibrium constant (K\(_p\)) for this reaction is \(2.91 \times 10^3\) at 298 K.

In a reaction at equilibrium, the partial pressure of SO\(_2\) is 0.154 torr, and the partial pressure of Cl\(_2\) is 0.355 torr. 

This chemical equation represents the decomposition of sulfuryl chloride (\(\text{SO}_2\text{Cl}_2\)) into sulfur dioxide (\(\text{SO}_2\)) and chlorine gas (\(\text{Cl}_2\)), influenced by the conditions of temperature and pressures specified. The \(K_p\) value indicates the position of equilibrium, favoring the formation of products under the given conditions.
