Answer:
8.08 × 10⁻⁴
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
COCl₂(g) ⇄ CO (g) + Cl₂(g)
The initial concentration of phosgene is:
M = 2.00 mol / 1.00 L = 2.00 M
We can find the final concentrations using an ICE chart.
COCl₂(g) ⇄ CO (g) + Cl₂(g)
I 2.00 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 2.00 -x x x
The equilibrium concentration of Cl₂, x, is 0.0398 mol / 1.00 L = 0.0398 M.
The concentrations at equilibrium are:
[COCl₂] = 2.00 -x = 1.96 M
[CO] = [Cl₂] = 0.0398 M
The equilibrium constant (Keq) is:
Keq = [CO].[Cl₂]/[COCl₂]
Keq = (0.0398)²/1.96
Keq = 8.08 × 10⁻⁴

Answer: option <span>D Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.
Justification:
1) The rate of chemical reactions are affected by: concentration of the reactants, state of the reactants, temperature, and presence of catalizers. So the first part of the statement is true.
2) Nuclear decay rates are constant. The decay depends on the nature of the element but not the conditions. That is why dating fossils with radiactive isotopes is possible. So, the second part of the statement is true.
