Question

4.0 moles of argon and 5.0 moles of PCl5 are introduced into an evacuated flask of 100 litre capacity at 610 K. The system is allowed to equilibrate. At equilibrium, the total pressure of mixture was found to be 6.0 atm. The Kp for the reaction is
[Given : R=0.082 L atm K1mol1]

Solution

The correct option is D 2.25
PCl5PCl3+Cl2

t=0 5 0 0

t=t 5n n n

Total moles = 5 – n + n + n = 5 + n

For Argon
nAr=4
Total moles =nAr+nPCl5+nPCl3+nCl2
=4+5+n
=9+n

PV=nRT
6×100=(9+n)×0.82×610
n=3

Kp=PPCl3.PCl2PPCl5

(312×6)×(312×6)212×6

=2712=94=2.25 atm
