The expression for the equilibrium constant (K) for this reaction is:
\[K = \dfrac{[CO][Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}\]
Because the equilibrium constant (K) is very large (1.5 x 10^10), it indicates that at equilibrium, the products (CO and Cl2) are favored over the reactant (COCl2).
Therefore, the correct answer is: products
\[K = \dfrac{[CO][Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}\]
Because the equilibrium constant (K) is very large (1.5 x 10^10), it indicates that at equilibrium, the products (CO and Cl2) are favored over the reactant (COCl2).
Therefore, the correct answer is: products
