Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes according to the chemical equation:
PCl5(g) forward and reverse arrows PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) Kc=1.80M at 250 degrees celcius.
A 0.293 mol sample of PCl5(g) is injected into an empty 4.35L reaction vessel held at 250 degrees celcius.
Calculate the concentrations of PCl5(g) and PCl3(g) at equilibrium.
Molarity of PCl5 = Number of moles of PCl5/Volume of vessel = 0.293/4.35 = 0.0674 M
Initial 0.0674 0 0
Final (0.0674-x) x x
[PCl3] = [Cl2] = 0.0660
[PCl5] = 0.0674 - 0.05660 = 0.0014
