Given the following equation and equilibrium concentrations,determine the value of the equilibrium constant. PCl₅ (g) $\leftrightarrow$ PCl₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g)
[PCl₅] = 5.30 M; [PCl₃] = 0.406 M; [Cl₂] = 0.406 M

Question

Given the following equation and equilibrium concentrations,determine the value of the equilibrium constant. PCl₅ (g)

\leftrightarrow

PCl₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g)
[PCl₅] = 5.30 M; [PCl₃] = 0.406 M; [Cl₂] = 0.406 M

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant Kc is calculated using the formula Kc = [PCl3][Cl2] / [PCl5]. Substituting the given concentrations, Kc = (0.406 * 0.406) / 5.30 = 0.0311.
