At 25C, Kc= 3.7x10^9 for the reaction

CO(g) + Cl2(g) equilibrium with COCl2(g)
Calculate the Kp at this temperature.

To calculate the equilibrium constant Kp at a given temperature, we need to use the ideal gas law equation:

Kp = Kc * (RT)^(Δn)

Where:
Kp is the equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures
Kc is the equilibrium constant in terms of molar concentrations
R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)
T is the temperature in Kelvin
Δn is the difference in moles of gas between products and reactants.

In this case, the reaction is:

CO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ COCl2(g)

From the balanced equation, we can see that the difference in moles of gas is:

Δn = (1 + 0) - (1) = 0

Since Δn is zero, the equation becomes:

Kp = Kc * (RT)^0

Since any number raised to the power of zero is 1, the equation simplifies to:

Kp = Kc

Therefore, the equilibrium constant Kp at 25°C is equal to Kc, which is 3.7x10^9.

To calculate the Kp at a given temperature, we need to know the relationship between Kp and Kc for the reaction in question.

The relationship between Kp and Kc is given by the equation:
Kp = Kc * (RT)^(Δn)

Where:
Kp is the equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures,
Kc is the equilibrium constant in terms of molar concentrations,
R is the gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K),
T is the temperature in Kelvin,
Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas from the reactants to the products.

In the given reaction: CO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ COCl2(g)

We need to determine the value of Δn to calculate Kp. To calculate Δn, we need to sum the stoichiometric coefficients of the products and subtract the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants.

In this case, Δn = (1) - (1 + 1) = -1

Now we can calculate the Kp at the given temperature.

Given values:
Kc = 3.7 × 10^9
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K
Δn = -1

Using the equation Kp = Kc * (RT)^(Δn), we can substitute the known values:

Kp = (3.7 × 10^9) * (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)^(Δn) * (298 K)^(Δn)

Since Δn is -1:
Kp = (3.7 × 10^9) * (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)^(-1) * (298 K)^(-1)

Now we can calculate:

Kp = 3.7 × 10^9 * (0.0821)^(-1) * (298)^(-1)

Kp ≈ 1.61 × 10^5

Therefore, the Kp at 25°C is approximately 1.61 × 10^5.

Kp = Kc(RT)delta n
