Express the equilibrium constant for the following reaction.
10PCl5(g) ↔ 10PCl3(g) + 10Cl2(g)
10PCl5(g) ↔ 10PCl3(g) + 10Cl2(g)
rate of forward reaction = Kf[PCl5]10
rate of back ward reaction = Kb[PCl3]10 [Cl2]10
at equilibrium
rate of forward reaction = rate of back ward reaction
Kf[PCl5]10 = Kb[PCl3]10 [Cl2]10
Kf/Kb = [PCl3]10 [Cl2]10/[PCl5]10
Kc = [PCl3]10 [Cl2]10/[PCl5]10
