Multiple Choice

Consider the following reaction: COCl₂(g) ⇌ CO(g) + Cl₂(g)
A reaction mixture initially contains 1.6 mol L^-1 COCl₂. Determine the equilibrium concentration of CO if K_c for the reaction at this temperature is 8.33 × 10^-4 M. Calculate this based on the assumption that the answer is negligible compared to 1.6.

• A) 4.2 × 10^-4 mol L^-1
• B) 1.5 × 10^-3 mol L^-1
• C) 3.7 × 10^-2 mol L^-1
• D) 2.1 × 10^-2 mol L^-1
• E) 1.3 × 10^-3 mol L^-1

Definitions:

Current Flow

The movement of electrical charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes (amps), fundamental to electrical circuits and devices' operation.

Ohm's Law

A fundamental principle in electricity that states the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Total Circuit Resistance

The sum of all resistances within an electrical circuit, affecting the overall current flow and performance.

Ohm's Law

A fundamental principle in electricity stating that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.
