Answer to Q3a)
COCl2(g) <------> CO(g) + Cl2(g)
If is the degree of dissociation at 373 K, then using ICE table, we can find the concentrations at the equilibrium.

Kp = (CO) (Cl2) / (COCl2)
Where,
(CO) = partial pressure of CO = CO Ptotal
CO= The mole fraction of CO = nCO : ntotal
total number of moles (ntotal ) = 1- + + = 1+
Total pressure (Ptotal) = 2 atm (given)
(CO) = • 2 / 1+
Similarly, (Cl2) = partial pressure of Cl2 = Cl2 Ptotal
= • 2 / 1+
(COCl2) = partial pressure of COCl2 = COCl2 Ptotal
= (1- ) • 2 / 1+
Kp = (CO) (Cl2) / (COCl2)
= (2 / 1+ ) X (2 / 1+ ) / (2(1- ) / 1+ )
= (2 / 1+ ) X (2 / 1+ ) X (2(1- ) / 1+ )
= 22 / (1- ) (1+ )
= 22 / (1- )2
8 X 10-9 = 22 / (1- )2
Since Kp is very small, will be very small. Therefore 1- = 1
8 X 10-9 = 22
2 = 8 X 10-9 / 2
2 = 4 X 10-9
= 6.3 X 10-5 M
Answer to Q3b)
The Gibbs free energy change for this reaction is given as:
G0 = [G0f (CO(g)) + G0f (Cl2(g))] - G0f (COCl2(g))
The G0f values are given in the thermodynamics table
G0 = [(-137.2) + (0)] – (-204.6)
= 67.4 kJ
We know,
G0 = H0 - TS0
H0 = G0 + TS0
= 67.4 kJ + 373 K X 0.125 kJ K-1
= 67.4 kJ + 46.6 kJ
H0 = 114 kJ
Answer to Q3c)
Previously we calculated,
Kp = 2 Ptotal / (1- )2
When = 0.001, P = 2 atm
Kp = (0.001)2 2/ (1- 0.001)2
= 0.000002 / 0.998
= 2 X 10-6
We know,
G = G0 +RT lnQ
At equilibrium G = 0 and Q = Kp
G0 = -RT ln Kp
T= -G0 / R ln Kp
= -67.4 X 103 J mol-1/ 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 • ln 2 X 10-6
= -67.4 X 103 / 8.314 K-1 • (-13.12)
T = 617.9 K
