Phosphorus trichloride gas and chlorine gas react to form
phosphorus pentachloride gas:
PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)⇌PCl5(g).
A 7.5-L gas vessel is charged with a mixture of PCl3(g)
and Cl2(g), which is allowed to equilibrate at 450 K. At
equilibrium the partial pressures of the three gases are
PPCl3 = 0.127 atm , PCl2 = 0.152 atm , and
PPCl5 = 1.30 atm .
Part A) What is the value of Kp at this temperature?
Part B) Does the equilibrium favor reactants or products?
Part C) Calculate Kc for this reaction
at 450 K.
