Pure

\mathrm{SO_2Cl_2(g)}

is introduced into a rigid 1.0\,L container at 320\,K to an initial pressure of 0.50\,atm. The system reaches equilibrium according to

\mathrm{SO_2Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons SO_2(g)+Cl_2(g)}

, and the total pressure rises to 0.58\,atm. If

K_p=0.015

at 320\,K, what is the equilibrium partial pressure of

\mathrm{Cl_2(g)}

? (a)

0.10\,\text{atm}

(b)

0.08\,\text{atm}

(c)

0.06\,\text{atm}

(d)

0.04\,\text{atm}
