A sample of PCl5(g) was placed in an otherwise empty flask at an initial pressure of 0.500 atm and a temperature above 500 K. Ov

er time the PCl5 decomposed to PCl3(g) and Cl2(g): PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) At equilibrium the pressure of PCl5 in the flask was found to be 0.150 atm. Calculate the value of Kp for this reaction at this temperature. Kp =

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:

K_p=\frac {P_{PCl_3}P_{[Cl_2}}{P_{PCl_5}}  

So,

K_p=\frac{x^2}{0.500-x}  

x = 0.350 atm

Thus,

K_p=\frac{{0.350}^2}{0.500-0.350}  

<u>Thus, Kp = 0.81666</u>

If 1.0 gram of hydrogen reacts with 19.0 grams of fluorine, then what is the percent by mass of fluorine in the compound that is
astraxan [27]
The reaction between hydrogen (H2) and fluorine (F2) is given below,
                                   H2 + F2 ---> 2HF
One mole of both hydrogen and fluorine yields to 2 moles of hydrogen fluoride. This can also be expressed as, 2 grams of hydrogen and 38 grams of fluorine will form 40 grams of hydrogen fluoride. From the given, only 20 grams of HF is formed with 19 g of it being fluorine. Thus, the percentage fluorine of the compound formed is 95%.
