The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the dissociation of \( PCl_5 \) in the presence of chlorine gas \( Cl_2 \) and determine the partial pressures and equilibrium constant based on the given data. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Conditions**: - The initial pressure of \( PCl_5 \) is 1 atm. - The initial pressure of \( Cl_2 \) is 0.2 atm. - The reaction for the dissociation of \( PCl_5 \) is: \[ PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g) \] 2. **Dissociation of \( PCl_5 \)**: - It is given that \( PCl_5 \) dissociates to the extent of 20%. This means that 20% of the initial \( PCl_5 \) will dissociate. - Amount of \( PCl_5 \) that dissociates: \[ \text{Dissociated } PCl_5 = 0.20 \times 1 \text{ atm} = 0.2 \text{ atm} \] - Therefore, the amount of \( PCl_5 \) remaining at equilibrium: \[ PCl_5 = 1 \text{ atm} - 0.2 \text{ atm} = 0.8 \text{ atm} \] 3. **Calculating Partial Pressures at Equilibrium**: - For every mole of \( PCl_5 \) that dissociates, 1 mole of \( PCl_3 \) and 1 mole of \( Cl_2 \) are produced. - Therefore, the partial pressure of \( PCl_3 \) produced: \[ PCl_3 = 0 + 0.2 \text{ atm} = 0.2 \text{ atm} \] - The partial pressure of \( Cl_2 \) at equilibrium: \[ Cl_2 = 0.2 \text{ atm} + 0.2 \text{ atm} = 0.4 \text{ atm} \] 4. **Equilibrium Constant Calculation**: - The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) in terms of partial pressures for the reaction is given by: \[ K_p = \frac{P_{PCl_3} \cdot P_{Cl_2}}{P_{PCl_5}} \] - Substituting the values: \[ K_p = \frac{(0.2 \text{ atm}) \cdot (0.4 \text{ atm})}{0.8 \text{ atm}} = \frac{0.08}{0.8} = 0.1 \] 5. **Final Results**: - The partial pressures and equilibrium constant are: - \( P_{PCl_5} = 0.8 \text{ atm} \) - \( P_{PCl_3} = 0.2 \text{ atm} \) - \( P_{Cl_2} = 0.4 \text{ atm} \) - \( K_p = 0.1 \) ### Matching with the Lists: - Partial pressure of \( PCl_5 \) = 0.8 atm (matches with option 1) - Partial pressure of \( PCl_3 \) = 0.2 atm (matches with option 4) - Partial pressure of \( Cl_2 \) = 0.4 atm (matches with option 2) - Equilibrium constant \( K_p \) = 0.1 atm (matches with option 3)
