Question

At 473 K, equilibrium constant K_cfor decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl₅ is 8.3 ×10^-3. If decomposition is depicted as,

_rH° = 124.0 kJmol^–1

a) Write an expression for K_cfor the reaction.

b) What is the value of K_cfor the reverse reaction at the same temperature?

c) What would be the effect on K_c if (i) more PCl₅ is added (ii) pressure is increased? (iii) The temperature is increased?

Solution

(a)

(b) Value of K_cfor the reverse reaction at the same temperature is:

(c) (i) K_cwould remain the same because in this case, the temperature remains the same.

(ii) K_cis constant at constant temperature. Thus, in this case, K_cwould not change.

(iii) In an endothermic reaction, the value of K_cincreases with an increase in temperature. Since the given reaction in an endothermic reaction, the value of K_cwill increase if the temperature is increased.
