Carbon monoxide and chlorine combine in an equilibrium reaction to produce the highly toxic product, phosgene (COCl2 ) CO(g) Cl2 (g) COCl2 (g) If the equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kc = 248, predict, if possible, what will happen when the reactants and product are combined with the concentrations shown. [CO] = [Cl2] = 0.010 M; [COCl2] = 0.070 M

Answer:

Reaction will proceed towards forward direction.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: [tex]CO+Cl_{2}\rightleftharpoons COCl_{2}[/tex]

Reaction quotient ([tex]Q_{c}[/tex]) for this reaction is represented as:

                                         [tex]Q_{c}=\frac{[COCl_{2}]}{[CO][Cl_{2}]}[/tex]

Here, [CO] = [[tex]Cl_{2}[/tex]] = 0.010 M and [[tex]COCl_{2}[/tex]] = 0.070 M

                              So, [tex]Q_{c}=\frac{0.070}{(0.010)^{2}}[/tex] = 700

As [tex]Q_{c}[/tex] > [tex]K_{c}[/tex] therefore reaction will proceed towards forward direction i.e. more[tex]COCl_{2}[/tex] will be produced.
