Question

PCl5 dissociates as
PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)
5 moles of PCl5 are placed in a 200 litre vessel which contains 2 moles of N2 and is maintained at 600 K. The equilibrium pressure is 2.46 atm. The equilibrium constant Kp for the dissociation of PCl5 is _____ ×103. (nearest integer)
(Given: R=0.082 L atm K1mol1; Assume ideal gas behaviour)

Solution

PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)
Initial5 0 0molesEquilibrium5x x xmoles
Number of moles of N2=2
Equilibrium pressure =2.46 atm
Total no. of moles = moles of N2 (inert gas) + equilibrium moles,
n=2+(5x)+x+x

Peq=(7+x)×0.082×600200=2.46
On solving, x=3
Kp=(3P10)(3P10)(2P10)=9×2.4620
=1107×103 atm
