Equimolar amounts of Cl₂(g) and CO(g) are injected into an evacuated, rigid container, where they react according to the equation below.
Cl₂(g) + CO ⇄ COCl₂(g)
(a)If 7.0 g of CO(g) is consumed in the reaction with excess Cl2(g), how many moles of COCl₂(g) are produced?
(b) Which element is oxidized in this reaction? Justify your answer in terms of oxidation numbers.
(c) At time t8, is the rate of the forward reaction greater than, less than, or equal to the rate of the reverse reaction? Justify your choice.
