Detailed Solution

2 moles of CO are present.

At equilibrium, 1 mole of CO is present.

Hence, 2-1=1 mole of CO has reacted.

1 mole of CO will react with 1 mole of Cl2 to form 1 mole of COCl2.

3-1=2 moles of Cl2 remains at equilibrium.

The equilibrium constant

Kc=COCl2[CO]Cl2

Kc=1 mol5 L1 mol5 L×2 mol5 L

Kc=2.5

Therefore, the correct option is (B).
