    A toxicologist studied the reaction of sulfur dichloride (SCl2) and ethylene (C2H4) to form mustard gas (S(CH2CH2Cl)2) at room temperature. Given the initial concentrations of reactants and concentration of mustard gas at equilibrium, the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction was calculated to be 14.45. Using the calculated Kc, temperature, and change in moles of gases, the equilibrium constant in terms of pressure (Kp) was determined to be 0.025.

    5.

    A toxicologist studying mustard gas, S(CH2CH2Cl)2 , a blistering agent,


    prepares a mixture of 0.675 M SCl2 and 0.973 M C2H4 , and allows it to
    react at room temperature (20

    ). At equilibrium, [S(CH2CH2Cl)2]=

    0.350 M. Calculate Kp.

    SCl2 (g) + 2C2H4 (g) S(CH2CH2Cl)2


    SCl2 (g) +
    Initial concentration:

    2C2H4 (g)

    0.675 M

    Changes:

    -x

    Final concentration: (0.675 - x) M

    (g)

    S(CH2CH2Cl)2 (g)

    0.973 M
    - 2x
    (0.973 - x) M

    0
    +x
    0.350M

    (at equilibrium)
    Given that at equilibrium, [S(CH2CH2Cl)2]= 0.350 M
    So, x= 0.350 M
    Final concentration of SCl2= 0.675 - x = 0.675 0.350 = 0.325 M
    Final concentration of C2H4= 0.973 - 2x = 0.973 2(0.350) = 0.273 M
    Kc =

    [S(CH2CH2Cl)2]
    [SCl2] [C2H4]2

    Kc =

    0.350
    (0.325) (0.273)2

    Kc = 14.45
    KP = Kc(RT)n
    n=number of moles of product number of moles of reactants= 1 - 3= -2
    So, KP = Kc(RT)n
    KP = 14.45[(0.0821) (273+20) ]-2
    Kp = 0.025
