At constant temperature and 1 atm pressure, PCl5 dissociate 2% then at what pressure PCl5 dissociate 4% :-
`(Use PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3) (g) + Cl_(2)(g)) `

A

`1/8 ` atm

B

`1/(16) atm`

C

`(1)/(2) atm`

D

`1/4 atm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`{:(PCl5 , hArr, PCl 3, + ,Cl2),( 1,,0,,0),(1-alpha , ,alpha ,, alpha ):}`
`KP =( alpha^(2))/((1-alpha ))xx[(p)/((1+alpha))]^(1)`
`KP= (alpha ^(2) P)/(1-alpha ^(2)) ~~- alpha ^(2) P `
` alpha _(1) ^(2) P_(1) = alpha _(2) ^(2) P_(2) `
`( 0.02 ) xx 1 = ( 0.04 ) ^(2) .Pa`
`implies P2 = 0.25 atm `
`=(1)/(4) atm`

PCl_(5) is 10% dissociated at 1 atm . What is % dissociation at 4 atm . PCl_(5)(g)hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)

The pressure at which equilibrium constant in terms of pressures is found to be equal to that in terms of mole fraction for the equilibrium, PCl_(5) (g) hArr PCl_(3) (g) + Cl_(2) (g)

Why PCl_(5) dissociates to give PCl_(3) and Cl_(2) ?

1 mole of PCl_(5) taken at 5 atm, dissociates into PCl_(3) and Cl_(2) to the extent of 50% PCl_(5)(g)hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g) Thus K_(p) is :
