Leno4ka [110]4 years ago
3 0
W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>
