Consider the following reaction which produces phosgene, a toxic gas used in WWI. CO (g) + Cl2 (g) ⇌ COCl2 (g) A vessel at 77°C is filled to the following initial partial pressures: PCO = 1.25 atm PCl2 = 1.65 atm PCOCl2 = 0.50 atm The standard Gibb’s Energies of Formation (ΔGf°) for CO is -137.2 kJ/mol and for phosgene (COCl2) is -304 kJ/mol. Compute the ΔG of this reaction mixture which has not yet reached equilibrium. Enter your answer in units kJ/mol.

Question

Consider the following reaction which produces phosgene, a toxic gas used in WWI.

CO (g) + Cl2 (g) ⇌ COCl2 (g)

A vessel at 77°C is filled to the following initial partial pressures:

PCO = 1.25 atm

PCl2 = 1.65 atm

PCOCl2 = 0.50 atm

The standard Gibb’s Energies of Formation (ΔGf°) for CO is -137.2 kJ/mol and for phosgene (COCl2) is -304 kJ/mol.

Compute the ΔG of this reaction mixture which has not yet reached equilibrium.

Enter your answer in units kJ/mol.
