The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the dissociation of PCl5, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The dissociation of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) can be represented as: \[ PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2 \] ### Step 2: Determine the initial moles and changes Initially, we have 4 moles of PCl5 and no products (PCl3 and Cl2). The change in moles when the system reaches equilibrium is given as: - PCl5: decreases by 0.8 moles - PCl3: increases by 0.8 moles - Cl2: increases by 0.8 moles ### Step 3: Set up the equilibrium concentrations At equilibrium, we can summarize the moles as follows: - Moles of PCl5 = \( 4 - 0.8 = 3.2 \) moles - Moles of PCl3 = \( 0 + 0.8 = 0.8 \) moles - Moles of Cl2 = \( 0 + 0.8 = 0.8 \) moles ### Step 4: Calculate the equilibrium concentrations Since the volume of the container is 1 liter, the concentrations (in mol/L) are equal to the number of moles: - Concentration of PCl5 = \( \frac{3.2 \text{ moles}}{1 \text{ L}} = 3.2 \, \text{M} \) - Concentration of PCl3 = \( \frac{0.8 \text{ moles}}{1 \text{ L}} = 0.8 \, \text{M} \) - Concentration of Cl2 = \( \frac{0.8 \text{ moles}}{1 \text{ L}} = 0.8 \, \text{M} \) ### Step 5: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the Kc expression Substituting the values we found: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.8)(0.8)}{3.2} \] ### Step 7: Calculate Kc Calculating the above expression: \[ K_c = \frac{0.64}{3.2} = 0.2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is: \[ K_c = 0.2 \]

To find the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the dissociation of PCl5, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The dissociation of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) can be represented as: \[ PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2 \] ...
