Sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, decomposes to SO2 and Cl2 at 648K with a Kc=0.045 by the following reaction:
SO2Cl2(g) « SO2(g) + Cl2(g)

You place 16.0 grams of SO2Cl2 into a 5.5 liter flask and heat the flask to 648K. What is the equilibrium concentration of SO2 in the flask? Enter your answer in scientific notation.
Answer:

You now carry out the reaction described above in a 1.00 liter flask. You begin with 18.5 grams of SO2Cl2 and include enough Cl2 gas to give a partial pressure of 1.2 atm at 648 K. What is the initial concentration of chlorine gas in this flask in moles/liter?
Answer:

Using the data from the preceeding question, determine the equilibrium concentration of SO2 in the 1.00 liter flask at 648 K. Enter your answer in scientific notation.

The initial concentration of SO2Cl2 is 16 gram / [135 (molec. mass) * 5.5 (liter)] = 0.022 molar. This decomposes to x moles of SO2 and x moles of Cl2, reducing the initial concentration by x:

SO2Cl2 ----> SO2 + Cl2

0.022-x...->......x..........x

The equilibrium equation is

kc = [SO2]*[Cl2] / [SO2Cl2]

kc = x^2 / (0.022 - x)

x^2 + kc*x - 0.022*kc = 0 For kc = 0.045

x^2 + 0.045*x - 9.9*10^-4 = 0 solve for x

x=0.016M. [scientific notation 1.6*10^-2M] This is the concentration of SO2 in moles/liter. The molec mass of SO2 is 64, so the mass concentration is 1.03 g/liter

The no of moles of Cl2 gas is found from the gas law, PV=nRT. n = PV/RT P = 1.2 atm, V = 1 liter, T = 648 ºK and R = 8.314 joule/ºK*mole.

n = 0.023 mole in one liter, so [Cl2] = 0.023M [2.3*10^-2 M]

18.5 g of SO2Cl2 is 0.137 moles

SO2Cl2 ----> SO2 + Cl2
0.137-x...->....x.......0.023 *** [EDIT: corrected number to 0.137]

kc = [SO2]*[Cl2] / [SO2Cl2]

kc = 0.023*x / (0.137-x)

0.137*kc - x*kc = 0.023*x

x(0.023 + kc) = 0.137*kc

x = 0.137*kc / (0.023 + kc)

x = 0.091 M [9.1*10^-2 M]
