Question

At certain temperature (T) for the gas phase reaction<br />2H2O(g) + 2012 (g) = 4HĆI(g) + O2(g) K = 12 x 108 atm<br />If Cl, HCl & 0, are mixed in such a manner that the partial pressure of each is 2 atm and the mixture is brough<br />into contact with excess of liquid water. What would be approximate partial pressure of Cl, when equilibrium<br />is attained at temperature (T)?<br />[Given : Vapour pressure of water is 380 mm Hg at temperature (T)]<br />(A) 3.6 x 10-5 atm<br />(B) 10-4 atm<br />(C) 3.6 x10-3 atm (D) 0.01 atm​
