Consider the following reaction:

PCl5(g) ⇄ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

a. Write the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction.


b. Initially, 0.60 mol of PCl5 is placed in a 1.0 L flask. At equilibrium, there is 0.16 mol of PCl3 in the flask. What are the equilibrium concentrations of PCl5 and Cl2?


c. What is the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction?


d. If 0.20 mol of Cl2 is added to the equilibrium mixture, will the concentration of PCl5 increase or decrease?
