Explanation:
Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present initially = 2.5 mol
Moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium = 0.338 mol

Initially
2.5 mol 0 0
At equilibrium:
(2.5 - x) mol x x
So, from above, the moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium , x= 0.338 mol
Mass of 0.338 moles of phosphorus trichloride at equilibrium:
= 0.338 mol × 137.5 g/mol = 46.475 g
Moles of phosphorus pentachloride present at equilibrium :
= (2.5 - 0.338) mol = 2.162 mol
Mass of 2.162 moles of phosphorus pentachloride at equilibrium:
= 2.162 mol × 208.5 g/mol = 450.777 g
Moles of chloride gas present at equilibrium : 0.338 mol
Mass of 0.338 moles of chloride gas at equilibrium:
= 0.338 mol × 71 g/mol = 23.998 g
Answer: It is an exothermic process because heat energy is absorbed by the water as the NaOH(s) dissolves in it.
Explanation:
Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant are less than the energy of product. In endothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, positive
Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactant are more than the energy of product. In exothermic reaction, the change in enthalpy is, negative.
Thus as energy is absorbed by water, which has been released by NaOH, the process is exothermic.
