At 100 C, the equilibrium constant for the reaction COCl 2 (g) CO(g) + Cl 2

Question:

At 100 °C, the equilibrium constant for the reaction

COCl2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + Cl2(g) has the value Kc = 2.19 × 10-10.

Are the following mixtures of COCl2, CO, and Cl2 at 100°C at equilibrium? If not, indicate the direction that the reaction must proceed to achieve equilibrium.

(a) [COCl2] = 2.00 × 10-3 M, [CO] = 3.3 × 10-6 M, [Cl2] = 6.62 × 10-6 M

(b) [COCl2] = 4.50 × 10-2 M, [CO] = 1.1 × 10-7 M, [Cl2] = 2.25 × 10-6 M

(c) [COCl2] = 0.0100 M, [CO] = [Cl2] = 1.48 × 10-6 M
