Explain phosgene decomposes by the reaction

Reference no: EM13558582

Lexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bullet-proof glass. One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene (COCl2), an extremely poisonous gas. Phosgene decomposes by the reaction

COCl2(g) <=>CO(g) + Cl2(g)

for which Kp= 6.8x10^-9 at 100 degrees C. If pure phosgene at an initial pressure of 1.0 atm decomposes, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.
