The reaction: PCl5(g) <-> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) has Kc=0.0900. A 0.1000 mol sammple of PCl5 is placed in an empty 1.00 flask and the above reaction is allowed to come to equilibrium at a certain temp. How manny moles of PCl5, PCl3 and Cl2, respectively, are present at equilibrium?
PCl5(g) <-> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
I 0.1 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.1-x +x +x
Kc = [PCl3][Cl2]/[PCl5]
0.09 = x*x/(0.1-x)
0.09*(0.1-x) = x^2
x = 0.06
[PCl3] = x = 0.06moles
[Cl2] = x = 0.06 moles
[PCl5] = 0.1-x = 0.1-0.06 = 0.04 moles
