please answer B and show work thank you 

### Consider the Following Reaction:

\[ \text{PCl}_5(g) \leftrightarrow \text{PCl}_3(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \]

#### Part A: Equilibrium Constant Expression

Select the correct equilibrium constant expression (Kc) for the reaction:

- \( K_c = \frac{[\text{PCl}_3][\text{Cl}_2]}{[\text{PCl}_5]} \)
- \( K_c = \frac{[\text{PCl}_5]}{[\text{PCl}_3][\text{Cl}_2]} \)

**Correct Choice:**
\[ K_c = \frac{[\text{PCl}_3][\text{Cl}_2]}{[\text{PCl}_5]} \]

**Explanation:**
The product concentrations are in the numerator of the equilibrium-constant expression, and the reactant concentration is in the denominator of the expression. All coefficients in the balanced chemical equation are 1, so there are no exponents in the expression.

#### Part B: Calculate Equilibrium Concentration of \( \text{PCl}_5 \)

Initially, 0.65 mol of \( \text{PCl}_5 \) is placed in a 1.0 L flask. At equilibrium, there is 0.13 mol of \( \text{PCl}_3 \) in the flask. What is the equilibrium concentration of \( \text{PCl}_5 \)?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

\[ [\text{PCl}_5] = \text{Value} \, \text{Units} \]

- Input values into the provided box and submit your answer.
