2.0 mol each of PCl5, PCl3, and Cl2 are placed in a 2.0L reaction vessel at 620K. Kc for the reaction PCl5(g) ↔ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) is 0.60 at the given temperature. What is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2? 1.146 is incorrect.
PCl5(g) ↔ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
I 2 2 2
C +x -x -x
E 2+x 2-x 2-x
[PCl5] = 2+x/2
[PCl3] = 2-x/2
[Cl2] = 2-x/2
Kc = [PCl3][Cl2]/[PCl5]
0.6 = (2-x)(2-x)/2(2+x)
0.6*2(2+x) = (2-x)(2-x)
x = 0.328
[Cl2] = 2-x/2 = 2-0.328/2 = 0.836M >>>>answer
