Solution

The correct option is A P.[1αα+1]
The equilibrium reaction is PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g).
The value of the equilibrium constant is Kp=[PCl3][Cl2][PCl5].
At the start of the reaction, the number of moles are nPCl5=1 M,nPCl3=0 M and nCl2=0 M
At the equilibrium, the number of moles are
nPCl5=1α,nPCl3=α and nCl2=α.
At the equilibrium, the partial pressures are
PPCl5=1α1+α×P,
PPCl3=α1+α×P and
PCl2=α1+α×P
