1. A 1.00 mol sample of NOCl was placed in a 2.00 L reactor and

heated to 227°C until the system reached equilibrium. The contents of
the reactor were then analyzed and found to contain 0.056 mol of Cl2.

follows:
2NOCl(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Cl2(g)
2. The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrogen with ethylene (C2H4) to

the system? What is Kp?

7. At 375 K, Kp for the reaction SO2Cl2(g) ⇌ SO2(g) + Cl2g) is 2.4, with pressures
