The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction The dissociation of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) can be represented as: \[ \text{PCl}_5(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{PCl}_3(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \] ### Step 2: Set up the initial conditions We start with 2 moles of PCl₅ in a 5-liter vessel. Therefore, the initial concentrations are: - \[ [\text{PCl}_5] = \frac{2 \text{ moles}}{5 \text{ L}} = 0.4 \text{ M} \] - \[ [\text{PCl}_3] = 0 \text{ M} \] - \[ [\text{Cl}_2] = 0 \text{ M} \] ### Step 3: Determine the change in concentration at equilibrium According to the problem, 80% of PCl₅ dissociates at equilibrium. This means: - Moles of PCl₅ that dissociate = \( 2 \text{ moles} \times 0.8 = 1.6 \text{ moles} \) - Moles of PCl₅ remaining = \( 2 - 1.6 = 0.4 \text{ moles} \) At equilibrium, the concentrations will be: - \[ [\text{PCl}_5] = \frac{0.4 \text{ moles}}{5 \text{ L}} = 0.08 \text{ M} \] - \[ [\text{PCl}_3] = \frac{1.6 \text{ moles}}{5 \text{ L}} = 0.32 \text{ M} \] - \[ [\text{Cl}_2] = \frac{1.6 \text{ moles}}{5 \text{ L}} = 0.32 \text{ M} \] ### Step 4: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[\text{PCl}_3][\text{Cl}_2]}{[\text{PCl}_5]} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the Kc expression Substituting the values we found: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.32)(0.32)}{0.08} \] ### Step 6: Calculate Kc Calculating the above expression: \[ K_c = \frac{0.1024}{0.08} = 1.28 \] ### Step 7: Report the answer as Kc multiplied by 50 Now, we need to report the answer as \( K_c \times 50 \): \[ K_c \times 50 = 1.28 \times 50 = 64 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is: \[ K_c = 64 \] ---
