A student ran the following reaction in the laboratory at 445 K
: PCl5(g)-------> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
When she introduced 1.28 moles of PCl5(g) into a 1.00 liter container, she found the equilibrium concentration of PCl5(g) to be 1.24 M.
Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, she obtained for this reaction.
molarity of PCl5 = no of moles/volume in L
= 1.28/1 = 1.28M
PCl5(g)-------> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
I 1.28 0 0
C -0.04 0.04 0.04
E 1.24 0.04 0.04
[PCl5] = 1.24M
[PCl3] = 0.04M
[Cl2] = 0.04M
Kc = [PCl3][Cl2]/[PCl5]
= 0.04*0.04/1.24 = 0.0013 = 1.3*10^-3 >>>>>answer
