Carbon monoxide and chlorine gas at high temperatures

Reference no: EM13789220

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:

CO(g)+Cl2(g)?COCl2(g)

Carbon monoxide and chlorine gas are allowed to react in a sealed vessel at 454°C. At equilibrium, the concentrations were measured and the following results obtained:

Gas	Partial Pressure (atm)
CO	0.900
Cl2	1.12
COCl2	0.190

What is the equilibrium constant,Kp, of this reaction?
