Question:

A graduate student places 0.272 mol of PCl3(g) and 8.56 × 10-4 mol of PCl5(g) into a 0.718-L flask at a certain temperature.

PCl5(g) is known to dissociate as follows:

PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

After the reaction attains equilibrium, the student finds that the flask contains 2.51 × 10-4 mol of Cl2. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction at this temperature.

a. 0.114

b. 8.51 × 102

c. 0.157

d. 8.88 × 104

e. 2.40 × 104
