2 moles of when heated in a closed vessels of 2 litre capacity at equilibrium of

2 moles of \( P C l_{5} \) when heated in a closed vessels of 2 litre capacity at equilibrium \( 40 \% \) of \( P C l_{5} \) dissociated in \( P C l_{3} \) and \( C l_{2} . \) What is the value of the equilibrium constant?

  • A. 0.267
  • B. 0.786
  • C. 0.345
  • D. 1.879

Step-by-step solution

Initial concentration of PCl5 = 2 mol / 2 L = 1 M. With 40% dissociation, equilibrium concentrations: [PCl5] = 0.6 M, [PCl3] = [Cl2] = 0.4 M. Kc = (0.4×0.4)/0.6 = 0.16/0.6 = 0.267.
