Hard equilibrium constant question
« on: June 04, 2005, 08:30:46 AM »
PCl5 -> PCl3 + Cl2

0.60 Mol of PCl5 is introduced into a 2.00L sealed vessel which is heated to 180 degress C. when equilibrium is established the concentration of Cl2 is 0.054M. The value for K for this reaction at 180 degrees C is:
A.  0.0097
B.  0.0059
C.  0.012
D.  84

Calculate concentrations at the equilibrium and put them to Keq=[Cl2][PCl3]/[PCl5]

do a mole balance to find the amount of Cl2 present in equilibrium

First off, you need to indicate the appropriate subscripts to the equation (are there any solids, gases, liquids etc???)
