From: JEE Main 2018 (Online) 15th April Evening Slot

Question

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

Choose an option

Correct answer
B2.5

Step-by-step explanation

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


The equilibrium constant,

Kc =

=  

=  

=  2.5
