Answer:
Kp is 0.228/atm
Explanation:
This is the reaction:
CO + Cl₂ → CCl₂O
1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.
Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:
Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ
Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)
Δп = 1 - 2 = -1
T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K
R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K
We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm
