At a certain temperature, the reaction PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) has an equilibrium constant Kc=5.8×10−2. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of PCl5,PCl3 and Cl2 if only PCl5 is present initially at a concentration of 0.160M.
A
[PCl3]=[Cl2]=0.071M,[PCl5]=0.089M

Solution
The correct option is A[PCl3]=[Cl2]=0.071M,[PCl5]=0.089M PCl5(g)→PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) Initial conc. 0.16 At eqm. 0.16−xxx Kc=x×x(0.16−x)=0.058 x=[PCl3]=[Cl2]=0.071M [PCl5]=0.089M
