Although it is omitted, the reaction equation for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride is:
PCl₅ → PCl₃ + Cl₂
The equilibrium constant's equation then becomes:
Kc = [PCl₃]*[Cl₂] / [PCl₅]
Kc = (0.02 * 0.02) / 0.0095
Kc = 0.042
The equilibrium constant is 0.042.
Answer:
Yes they are found in same period
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is withcompounds with complex names, is arepository for some very peculiar and sometimes startling names. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the consequence of simple juxtaposition. Some names derive legitimately from their chemical makeup, from the geographic region where they may be found, the plant or animal species from which they are isolated or the name of the discoverer.
