Phosgene, CoCl2 (g), a toxic gas used in the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds, decomposes according to
COCl2 (g) <------> CO (g) + Cl2 (g) this is suposed to be an equilibrium arrow, it goes both ways.
A sample of phosgene gas at an initial concentration of 0.500 M is heated at 527 degrees celcius in a reaction vessel. At equilibrium the concentration of CO (g) was found to be 0.046 M. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction equation at 527 degrees celcius.
