Solution

The correct option is C 10
500 ml of solution contains 0.1 moles of CO, 0.1 moles of Cl2 and 0.2 moles of COCl2.
Thus the equilibrium concentrations of CO, Cl2 and COCl2 are 0.2M, 0.2M and 0.4 M respectively.
The expression for the equilibrium constant becomes Kc=[COCl2][CO][Cl2]=0.40.2×0.2=10.
