Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures:
CO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ COCl2(g)
If 0.350 mol of each reactant is placed in a 0.500-L flask at 600 K, what are the concentrations of all three substances at equilibrium (Kc = 4.95 at this temperature)?
