If a reaction mixture initially contains 0.168 MSO2Cl2, what is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 at 227 ∘C?

see explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here's the complete question:

Consider the following reaction:

SO2Cl2 > SO2(g) + Cl2(g)

Kc= 2.99 x 10^-7 at 227 degrees celcius

If a reaction mixture initially contains 0.168 MSO2Cl2, what is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 at 227 ∘C?

This is a problem of equilibrium, therefore, we need to solve this using the expression of equilibrium constant. To do that, we need to wirte an ICE chart and solve from there:

       SOCl2 > SO2 + Cl2     Kc = 2.99x10⁻⁷

i)       0.168                  0        0

c)         -x                    +x       +x

e)     0.168-x                x         x

Writting the Kc expression:

Kc = [SO2] [Cl2] / [SOCl2]

Replacing the values from the chart:

2.99x10⁻⁷ = x² / 0.168 - x

However, Kc is a very very small value, therefore, we can assume that the value of "x" would be very small too, and we can neglect the 0.168-x and just round it to 0.168:

2.99x10⁻⁷ = x²/0.168

2.99x10⁻⁷ * 0.168 = x²

√5.02x10⁻⁸ = x

x = 2.24x10⁻⁴ M

This means then, that the concentration of Cl2 in equilibrium would be:

[Cl₂] = 2.24x10⁻⁴ M

if two electrons have the same n, the same ℓ, and the same ml, then they are in the same orbital. the pauli exclusion principle states that no two identical fermions (a fancy word for electrons and other subatomic particles like electrons) may occupy the same quantum state in an atom simultaneously.

i'm pretty sure it is letter c.) car
