JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2018 - 15th April Evening Slot - No. 18)

At a certain temperature in a $$5$$ $$L$$ vessel, 2 moles of carbon monoxide and 3 moles of chlorine were allowed to reach equilibrium according to the reaction,
         CO + Cl2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ COCl2
At equilibrium, if one mole of CO is present then equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction is :
2
2.5
3
4

Explanation

CO + Cl2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ COCl2
Initially number of moles 2 3 0
At equilibrium number of moles 1 2 1


The equilibrium constant,

Kc = $${{\left[ {COC{l_2}} \right]} \over {\left[ {CO} \right]\left[ {C{l_2}} \right]}}$$

=  $${{\left( {{1 \over 5}} \right)} \over {\left( {{1 \over 5}} \right) \times \left( {{2 \over 5}} \right)}}$$

=   $${5 \over 2}$$

=  2.5
