Question

a) A gas mixture consists of 2.47 atm of SO2Cl2, 0.41 atm of SO2, and 0.416 atm of Cl2. Calculate the reaction quotient for this system prior to the establishment of the equilibrium below.

b) If the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 150 K is 3.29×10-12, determine the direction that the reaction will shift in order to achieve equilibrium.

Explanation / Answer

SO2Cl2 ----> SO2 + Cl2

Q = pCl2 *pSO2 / pSO2Cl2

Q = 0.416*0.41 / 2.47 = 0.069

Given

Kp = 3.29*10^-12

Since Q > Kp

The reaction will shift to the left direction achieve equilibrium
