7.30. At 473 K, the equilibrium constant Kc for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) is 8.3 x 10-3. If decomposition proceeds as:
PCl5 (g) ​⇌ PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) ΔrHϴ = 124.0 kJ mol–1
(a) Write an expression for Kc for the reaction

(b) What is the value of Kc for the reverse reaction at the same temperature.
(c) What would be the effect on Kc if
(i) More of PCl5is added (ii) pressure is increased (iii) the temperature is increased.

(a) The equilibrium constant expression is

Kc = [PCl3] [Cl2] / [PCl5]

(b) The equilibrium constant expression for the reverse reaction is

Kc (reverse) = 1/ (8.3*103) =120.48

(c) (i) By adding more of PCl5, value of Kc will remain constant because there is no change in temperature.
(ii) When pressure
