As the volume of a gas increases <em>at constant temperature</em>, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.
There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.
Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation): K₃PO₄(aq) → 3K⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq).
K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate, <span>a water-soluble </span>ionic salt.
In water potassium phosphate, ionic compound, dissociates on positive potassium ion (cations) and negative phosphate ions (anions).
Potassium has positive charge (+1), compound has neutral charge.
Answer:
the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
Explanation:
for the reaction
PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
where
Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 2.0*10¹ M = 20 M
and [A] denote concentrations of A
if initially the mixture is pure PCl₅ , then it will dissociate according to the reaction and since always one mole of PCl₃(g) is generated with one mole of Cl₂(g) , the total number of moles of both at the end is the same → they have the same concentration → [PCl₃(g)] = [Cl₂]=0.27 M
therefore
Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M /[PCl₅] = 20 M
[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M / 20 M = 3.64*10⁻³ M
[PCl₅] = 3.64*10⁻³ M
the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
