`overset(1)(PCl_(5)) Leftrightarrow overset(0)(PCl_(3))+overset(0)(Cl_(2))" Initial moles"`
`(1-x)" x x Moles at equilibrium"`
Total moles at equilibrium =1-x+x+x= (1+x)
`K_(p)=(p_(PCl_(3)).p_(Cl_(2)))/(p_(PCl_(5)))=((x)/(1+x).p) ((x)/(1+x).p)/((1-x)/(1+x).p)`
`{"partial pressure of a species" =("moles of species")/("total moles") xx " total pressure"}`
`K_p=(x^2)/(1-x^2).p`
Substituting the values of `K_p and p`
`0.202=x^2/(1-x^2) xx 1.5, x =0.343`
moles of `Cl_2` at equilibrium =0.343
and total moles at equilibrium =1+x
=1+0.343
=1.343
volume percentage of chlorine =mole percent of chlorine
`=("moles of "Cl_2)/("total moles") xx 100`
`=(0.343)/(1.343) xx 100`
=25.5%

Calculate the volume percent of chlorine gas at equilibrium in the dissociation of PCl_(5)(g) under a total pressure of 1.5 atm. The K_(p) for its dissociation =0.3 .

Why does the dissociation of PCl_5 decrease in the presence of Cl_2 ?

Assertion : In the dissociation of PCl_(5) at constant pressure and temperature addition of helium at equilibrium increases the dissociation of PCl_(5) . Reason : Helium reacts with Cl_(2) and hence shifts the equilibrium in forward direction.

Phosphorus pentachloride dissociates as follows in a closed reaction vessel. PCl_5(g) hArr PCl_3(g) +Cl_2(g) If total pressure at equilibrium of the reactions mixture is P and degree of dissociation of PCl_5 is x, the partial pressure of PCl_3 will be:

0.1 mol of PCl_(5) is vaporised in a litre vessel at 260^(@)C . Calculate the concentration of Cl_(2) at equilibrium, if the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of PCl_(5) is 0.0414 .
