Question

Two moles of P C l 5 were heated in a closed vessel of 2 L. At equilibrium 40% of P C l 5 is dissociated into P C l 3 a n d C l 2 . The value of equilibrium constant is, 0.53, 0.267, 2.63, 5.3

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Degree of dissociation=0.4 PCl 5 ⇌ PCl 3 + Cl 2 a ( 1 − x ) a x a x a = 2 , x = 0.4 , V = 2 P C l 5 = 2 ( 1 - 0.4 ) 2 = 0.6 mol/L P C l 3 = 2 × 0.4 2 = 0.4 mol/L C l 2 = 2 × 0.4 2 = 0.4 mol/L ∴ K c = P C l 3 C l 2 P C l 5 = 0.4 × 0.4 0.6 = 0.267
