A sample of pure PCl5 was introduced into an evacuated vessel at 473 K. After equilibrium was attained, concentration of PCl5 was found to be 0.5 × 10–1 mol L–1. If value of Kc is 8.3 × 10–3, what are the concentrations of PCl3 and Cl2 at equilibrium?
PCl5 (g) ↔ PCl3 (g) + Cl2(g)
Let the concentrations of both PCl3 and Cl2 at equilibrium be x molL-1. The given reaction is:
PCl5 (g) ↔ PCl3 (g) + Cl2(g)
at equilibrium 0.5x10-1molL-1 xmolL-1 xmolL-1
it is given that the value of equilibrium constant, Kc is 8.3x10–3
Now we can write the expression for equilibrium as:
