Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.136MP
For the decomposition reaction PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), Kp = 381 at 600 K and Kc = 46.9 at 700 K.
- (a) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain. Does your answer agree with what you would predict based on bond energies?
- (b) If 1.25 g of PCl5 is introduced into an evacuated 0.500 L flask at 700 K and the decomposition reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium, what percent of the PC15 will decompose and what will be the total pressure in the flask?
- (c) Write electron-dot structures for PC15 and PC13, and indicate whether these molecules have a dipole moment. Explain.
