Equilibrium problem
« on: July 13, 2010, 04:44:37 PM »
ok so this assignment is due tonight and i have completed all of the problems except for this one. I dont even really know where to start, im having a bit of a chemistry overload at the moment!

The system described by the reaction CO(g) + Cl2 ::equil:: COCl2(g)
 
is at equilibrium at a given temperature when Pco=0.3atm2 ,Pcl2 =0.12 , and  Pcocl2=0.61 . An additional pressure of  Cl2(g)=0.38 atm  is added.


Find the pressure of CO when the system returns to equilibrium.

I have one attempt left at this answer and pages of scribbles trying to figure it out but alas no luck! HELP PLEASE!!!!  ??? ;D

From the first part you can calculate Kp
