The equilibrium constant for the intercoversion of PCl5 and PCl3 is 0.0121:

          PCl5(g) = PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

A vessel is charged with PCl5, giving an initial pressure of 0.123 atm. At equilibrium, the partial pressure of PCl3 is __________ atm.

Solutions

Expert Solution

        

                PCl5(g) = PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

         1              0            0

after time t       1-x              x           x

Total no of moles n=1+x

   Equilibrium constant =0.0121

              Initial pressure P=0.123

                          Kp= {[npcl3] x[ ncl2] /[npcl5] }xP/n

                               0.0121={[x] [x]/[1-x]} 0.123/1+x

                            [1-x2] 0.0121= x2 0.123

                          0.0121=x2 0.1351

   x2= 0.08962

                               x=0.2993

           the partial pressure of PCl3 =P[ npcl3/n]

                                                  = 0.123 [x/1+x]

                                                = 0.123[0.299/1.299]

          the partial pressure of PCl3 is0.028311 atm
