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>

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>
To change only one variable which is very important than to test the experiment to match the hypothesis again, I think. It’s been a while since I was on that lesson♀️
Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work.
Chemical forms compounds.
Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct.
Physical cannot form a compound.
