PCl5 (g) ⇌ PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g)
Initial 3 0 0
At equi: 3(1 – x ) 3x 3x
(where x is degree of dissociation)
Total moles = 3 (1 − x) + 3x + 3x = 3(1 + x)
1 mole of nitrogen is present, so actual total number of moles at equilibrium
= 3 (1 + x) + 1
We know that, according to Ideal gas equation,
PV=nRT
Given,
P = 2.05 atm, V = 100 litres, R = 0.082 atm × L/(mol×K)
T = (273 + 227) = 500 K
So, n = 0.082 × 5002.05 × 100 = 5
or 3(1 + x) + 1 = 5
3x = 1 or x = 0.333
Degree of dissociation is 0.333
At equilibrium,
pPCl5 = [3(1 – x) / (3x+4) ] ⨯ 2.05 atm
pPCl3 = pCl2 = [3x / (3x +4) ] ⨯ 2.05 atm
Kp = pPCl3 ⨯ pPCl2 / pPCl5
= {[3x / (3x +4) ] ⨯ 2.05 atm}2 / [3(1 – x) / (3x+4) ] ⨯ 2.05 atm
Kp = 0.204 atm
