Options:
  • A $\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{I}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{HI}_{(\mathrm{g})}$
  • B $\mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$
  • C $\quad 2 \mathrm{BrCl}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Br}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$
  • D $\mathrm{PCl}_{5(\mathrm{~g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{PCl}_{5(\mathrm{~g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}(\mathrm{RT})^{\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}} \\
& \text { for } \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{p}} \neq \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}} \\
& \qquad \Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}} \neq 0 \\
& \Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{p}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{r}}
\end{aligned}$
(1) $\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-2=0$
(2) $\Delta \mathrm{ng}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-2=0$
(3) $\Delta \mathrm{ng}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-2=0$
(4) $\Delta \mathrm{ng}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-1=1$
