Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2

(g) ⇌ COCl2(g) If 0.430 mol of each reactant is placed in a 0.500−L flask at 600 K, what are the concentrations of all three substances at equilibrium (Kc = 4.95 at this temperature)?

Answer: Concentration of CO = 0.328 M

Concentration of Cl_2 = 0.328 M

Concentration of COCl_2 = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of  CO and Cl_2 = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of CO and Cl_2  =\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)

Initial conc.          0.860M     0.860M           0

At eqm. conc.    (0.860-x) M  (0.860-x) M     (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x =  0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2 at equilibrium are :

Concentration of CO = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of Cl_2 =  (0.860-x) M  =  (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of COCl_2 = x M = 0.532 M

sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air why does the speed of sound depend on air temperature
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in the air mainly depends on temperature. At high altitudes, where it is much colder, sound travels slower. The higher the temperature, the faster the air molecules are moving to begin with, and the quicker they bump into each other as a sound wave passes through.
