0.6 mole of P C l 5 , 0.3 mole of P C l 3 and 0.4 mole of C l 2 are taken in a 1 L flask to obtain the following equilibrium P C l 5 ( g ) ⇌ P C l 3 ( g ) + C l 2 ( g ) If the equilibrium constant K c

Question

0.6 mole of P C l 5 , 0.3 mole of P C l 3 and 0.4 mole of C l 2 are taken in a 1 L flask to obtain the following equilibrium P C l 5 ( g ) ⇌ P C l 3 ( g ) + C l 2 ( g ) If the equilibrium constant K c for the reaction is 0.15. Predict the direction of the reaction.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

P C l 5 ( g ) ⇌ P C l 3 ( g ) + C l 2 ( g ) Q c = 0.4 × 0.3 0.6 = 0.2 K c = 0.15 since Q c > K c reaction will proceed in backward direction.
