MI Review | Constants Periodic Table Part A The equilibrium constant, K, of a reaction at a particular temperature is determined by the concentrations or pressures of the reactants and products at equilibrium. Phosgene (carbonyl chloride), COCl2, is an extremely toxic gas that is used in manufacturing certain dyes and plastics. Phosgene can be produced by reacting carbon monoxide and chlorine gas at high temperatures: For a gaseous reaction with the general form aA + bB =cC + dD CO(g) + Cl2(g) = COCl2(g) the K and Kp expressions are given by Carbon monoxide and chlorine gas are allowed to react in a sealed vessel at 456 °C. At equilibrium, the concentrations were measured and the following results obtained: K = CID" A"B" Gas K = (Pc)'(P) Partial Pressure (atm) 0.880 1.18 0.230 Co Cl2 COCl (PA)"(P) What is the equilibrium constant, Kp. of this reaction? Express your answer numerically. The subscript c or p indicates whether K is expressed in terms of concentrations or pressures. Equilibrium-constant expressions do not include a term for any pure solids or liquids that may be involved since their composition does not change throughout the reaction. The standard state of a pure substance is the pure substance itself, and although the quantity may change the sample remain pure. The concentration is effectively equal to 1, and will not impact the magnitude of K. View Available Hint(s) I ALQ R o 2 ? Kp =
