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

Reaction will proceed towards forward direction.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction:

Reaction quotient () for this reaction is represented as:

Here, [CO] = [] = 0.010 M and [] = 0.070 M

                              So, = 700

As > therefore reaction will proceed towards forward direction i.e. more will be produced.

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.

a. by the combination of an unlimited number of elements
