I used the ideal gas law, PV=nRT rearranged to solve for P. (I did this in another problem in the same set to get overall pressure). I just set the volume as 1 L.
I checked all the numbers and the answer in the book and everything seems correct. :S
I tried that, here's the work:
P=RT=(.0821)(373)=30.6233 atm
Moles is M*L so all of the moles equal the concentration. Total number of moles is .0108+.052+.0162 (moles of Cl2)=.079 total moles. So the pCl2= .0162/.079*30.6233=6.27 atm.
The book says 5 atm so where am I going wrong?
Homework Statement
At 100 o C Kc=.078 for the reaction SO2Cl2<-->SO2 + Cl2. In an equilibrium mixture the [SO2CL2]=.0108 M and [SO2]=.052 M.
What is the partial pressure of Cl2 in the eq. mixture?
Homework Equations
Kp=Kc(RT)\Deltan
P=RT/V
