Hydrogen chloride reacts with oxygen to yield chlorine and water. An equilibrium can be established with this reaction. An experiment was performed in a closed vessel starting with a mixture of 0.50 M HCl and 0.050 M O2. The amount of chlorine was monitored until no change was observed, at 0.048 M chlorine.
a) Which way did the system shift to achieve equilibrium?
b) What is Kc for this reaction, and what are the equilibrium concentrations of all relevant components?
c) What is Kp for this reaction if the final temperature is 25 oC?
