Question

This is my second time asking this question, the first one came out as incorrect for both answers (I attached pictures of answers). I'm not sure what is done incorrectly.

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes according to the chemical equation

PCl5(g)↽−−⇀PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) ?c=1.80 at 250

A 0.2738 mol sample of PCl5⁢(g) is injected into an empty 3.90 L reaction vessel held at 250⁢ ∘C.

Calculate the concentrations of PCl5⁢(g) and PCl3(g) at equilibrium.

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes according to the chemical equation
PCI, (g) = PCI, (g) + Cl, (g)
K. = 1.80 at 250 °C
A 0.2738 mol sample of PCl, (g) is injected into an empty 3.90 L reaction vessel held at 250 °C.
Calculate the concentrations of PCl, (g) and PCl, (g) at equilibrium.

х2
0.070205 – x = 1.80 x²
-
1.80 x? + x – 0.070205
By solving the above quadratic equation, we get:
x = 0.063049
Final answer
The equilibrium concentration of PCI5 is given by:
PCI5g = 0.070205 -XPC158 = 0.070205 -0.063049PC158 = 0.007156 MPCI5(g) = 0.00716 M
The equilibrium concentration of PCI3 is given by:
PC13g = XPC139 = 0.063049 MPCI3(g) = 0.0630 M
