Chemistry

Phosgene (COCl2) is a very toxic molecule that was used as achemical weapon in World War I. It can also be a precursor tochemicals used to make closed-cell polyurethane insulation, whichhas a very high R value. Phosgene can decompose according to thefollowing equilibrium reaction. The KP for this reaction is 6.8 x10-9 at 373 Kelvin. Calculate the equilibrium pressures of each gasif a container initially contains phosgene with a partial pressureof 2 atm.
