Question

1. Consider the following reaction: 

PCl3(g)+ Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g)                  K = 4.30 x 10-6

Initially, 2.50 M PCl3 and 1.40 M Cl2 are placed into a container and allowed to reach equilibrium. Determine the equilibrium concentrations of all the species. 

I attached my answer.

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of [PCI3] is 2.50M, [Cl] is 1.40M, and [PCI3] is
1.51 x 10 M.
Transcribed Image Text:= 1.51 x 10 M Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of [PCI3] is 2.50M, [Cl] is 1.40M, and [PCI3] is 1.51 x 10 M.
