Solution

The correct option is D 3.75
Given reaction is
PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)

PCl5PCl3Cl2Initial200Change0.80.80.8Equilibrium1.20.80.8Molar concentration 0.60.40.4

The expression for the equilibrium constant is Kc=[PCl3][Cl2][PCl5]
Kc=0.4×0.40.6=0.266

PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)PCl5(g)
Kc for this reaction = 3.75
