4.0 moles of argon and 5.0 moles of PCl₅ are introduced into an evacuated flask of 100 litre capacity at 610 K. The system is allowed to equilibrate. At equilibrium, the total pressure of mixture was found to be 6.0 atm. The K_P for the reaction is

[Given R = 0.082 L atm K^-¹ mol^-¹]

Option 1 - 2.25

Option 2 - 6.24

Option 3 - 12.13

Correct Option - 1

Detailed Solution:

Moles of PCl₅ = 5 mol

Moles of Ar = 4 mol

Total no of moles = 9 moles

^{$P_{T o t a l} = \frac{n R T}{V} = \frac{9 * 0.0821 * 610}{100} = 4.5 a t m$}

^{$P_{P C l_{5}} = X_{P C l_{5}} * P_{T} = \frac{5}{9} * 4.5 = 2.5 a t m$}

^{$P_{A r} = X_{A r} * P_{T} = \frac{4}{9} * 4.5 = 2 a t m$}

$P C l_{5} \overset{}{?} P C l_{3} + C l_{2}$

2.5 00

2.5 PPP

$P_{T o t a l} = 2.5 - P + P + P + P_{A r} = 6$

P = 1.5 atm

$K_{P} = \frac{1.5 * 1.5}{1} = 2.25$
