Question

Lexan is a plastic used to make compact discs, eyeglass lenses, and bullet proof glass.  One of the compounds used to make Lexan is phosgene, COCl2, an extremely poisonous gas.  Phosgene decomposes by the reaction:

     COCl(g)        CO (g)     +     Cl2 (g)

For this reaction Kp = 6.8x10-9 at 100oC.  If phosgene is at an initial pressure of 0.197 atm, calculate the equilibrium pressures of all species.
