Answer:

Chlorine and bromine

Explanation: The chlorine and bromine acts as reactive gases and destroy the ozone present in the stratospheric ozone.

The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere to filter the harmful rays of the sun that is harmful for the people living on earth.

A chlorine or bromine molecule can destroy thousand of the ozone molecules before it leaves the stratosphere.

So, a single bromine or chlorine atom can affect the ozone layer.

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol

Ymorist [56]

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
