Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration PCl_3 and Cl_2.

\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M

\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                            PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

Initially                 0.70        0.70              0

At equilibrium    (0.70-x)   (0.70-x)           x

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}

K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}

By solving the term x, we get

x=0.59\text{ and }0.83

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of PCl_3 at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of Cl_2 at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of PCl_5 at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of PCl_3 at equilibrium is 0.11 M

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.
