Answer:
Kp = 0.81666
Explanation:
Pressure of PCl₅ = 0.500 atm
Considering the ICE table for the equilibrium as:
PCl₅ (g) ⇔ PCl₃ (g) + Cl₂ (g)
t = o 0.500
t = eq -x x x
--------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Moles at eq: 0.500-x x x
Given the pressure of PCl₅ at equilibrium = 0.150 atm
Thus, 0.500 - x = 0.150
x = 0.350 atm
The expression for the equilibrium constant is:
So,
x = 0.350 atm
Thus,
<u>Thus, Kp = 0.81666</u>
When y equals 5, x is 104.3
When y equals 3 then x is 108.3
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>
Substitute y = 5 in given expression
5 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)
5 = 57.15 - 0.5x
0.5x = 57.15 - 5
0.5x = 52.15
Divide both sides by 0.5
x = 104.3
Thus when y equals 5, x is 104.3
<h3><u>If y = 3 what is x ?</u></h3>Substitute y = 3 in given expression
3 = 57.15 - 0.5(x)
3 = 57.15 - 0.5x
0.5x = 57.15 - 3
0.5x = 54.15
Divide both sides by 0.5
x = 108.3
Thus when y equals 3 then x is 108.3
