Question

104 Equilibrium Constant 2
The toxic gas phosgene decomposes to a limited extent to carbon monoxide and chlorine at a certain temperature T K
according to the following equation:
COCI₂(g) CO(g) + Cl₂(g)
The equilibrium constant, Kc, is 0.00045 at this temperature.
What is the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction?
Give your answer with 2 significant figures in the exponential form, for example, 1.5e3 for 1500.

Answer 1

From the calculations, the equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is 2.22 * 10^3.

What is equilibrium constant?

The term equilibrium constant refers to a number that shows the extent to which reactants are converted into products.

We can see that the equation is COCI₂(g) CO(g) + Cl₂(g) having Kc = 0.00045. The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is; 1/0.00045 = 2.22 * 10^3.
