Question

For the equilibrium:
$P C l_{5} (g) ⇌ P C l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$
If the equilibrium concentration of $P C l_{5} (g)$ is doubled, the concentration of $C l_{2} (g)$ will be

Solution

The correct option is D None of these
According to the Le chatelier's principle, if the concentration of $P C l_{5} (g)$ is doubled, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction, and the concentration of $C l_{2}$ will increase but it is not possible to predict since it depends upon equilibrium constant.
