Expert Solution
Step 1: Concept of Reaction quotient & equilibrium constant

Given eqm rxn:

PCl5(g) <=> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) 

Kc = 0.0120

&  ∆H° = 87.9 kJ 


For any reaction

A) When QC=KC, then reaction mixture is at equilibrium.

B) When QC>KC, then reaction mixture is not at equilibrium and in order to reestablish the equilibrium value of QC needs to be increased and reaction does so by moving in reverse direction.

C) When QC<KC, then reaction mixture is not at equilibrium and in order to reestablish the equiibrium value of QC needs to be decreased and reaction does so by moving in forward direction.
