Expert Solution

              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
