PCl5 dissociates as

PCl5(g) ?  PCl3 (g) + Cl2(g)

5 moles of PCl5 placed in a 200 litre vessel which contains 2 moles of N2 and is maintained at 600K. The equilibrium pressure is 2.46 atm. The equilibrium constant Kp for the dissociation of PCl5 is ____________ * 10-3g.  (nearest integer).

(Given R = 0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1; Assume ideal gas behavior)

PCl5(g)?PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)t=05moles00xmole_+xmole_+xmole_

Eq.(5 – x) mole x molex mole

Total number of moles at equilibrium

=(5x)+x+x+nN2=(7+x)

Kp=(PPCl3)*(PCl2)Cl(PPCl5)eq=(310*2.46)*(310*2.46)(210*2.46)=1.107atm

= 1107 * 103 atm
