The equilibrium composition for the reaction

PCl3+Cl2⇌PCl5{PCl}_{3} + {Cl}_{2}\mathop{⇌}_{}{PCl}_{5} at 298K298K is given below:

[PCl3]eq=0.2molL−1,[Cl2]eq=0.1molL−1,[PCl5]eq=0.40molL−1{\left[{PCl}_{3}\right]}_{eq} = 0 . 2mol{L}^{- 1}, {\left[{Cl}_{2}\right]}_{eq} = 0 . 1mol{L}^{- 1}, {\left[{PCl}_{5}\right]}_{eq} = 0 . 40mol{L}^{- 1}

If 0.2mol0 . 2mol of Cl2{Cl}_{2} is added at the same temperature, the equilibrium concentrations of PCl5{PCl}_{5} is _____ ×10–2molL–1\times {10}^{– 2}mol{L}^{– 1}

Given: Kc{K}_{c} for the reaction at 298K298K is 2020

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

PCl3(g)0.2+Cl2(g)0.1⇌PCl5(g)0.4\mathop{{PCl}_{3}\left(g\right)}_{0 . 2} + \mathop{{Cl}_{2}\left(g\right)}_{0 . 1}\mathop{⇌}_{}\mathop{{PCl}_{5}\left(g\right)}_{0 . 4}

Kc=0.40.2×0.1=20{K}_{c} = \dfrac{0 . 4}{0 . 2 \times 0 . 1} = 20

If 0.20 . 2 moles of Cl2{Cl}_{2} is added. When reactant is added the reaction takes place in forward direction.

20=Kc=0.4+X(0.3−X)(0.2−X)20 = {K}_{c} = \dfrac{0 . 4 + X}{\left(0 . 3 - X\right)\left(0 . 2 - X\right)}

⇒(0.4+X)=20(0.3−X)(0.2−X)⇒ \left(0 . 4 + X\right) = 20\left(0 . 3 - X\right)\left(0 . 2 - X\right)

∴0.4+X=20(0.06+X2−0.5X)∴ 0 . 4 + X = 20\left(0 . 06 + {X}^{2} - 0 . 5X\right)

0.4+X=1.2+20X2−10X0 . 4 + X = 1 . 2 + 20{X}^{2} - 10X

20X2−11X+0.8=020{X}^{2} - 11X + 0 . 8 = 0

X=11±121−6440X = \dfrac{11 \pm \sqrt{121 - 64}}{40}

=11−7.5540≃0.08625= \dfrac{11 - 7 . 55}{40} ≃ 0 . 08625

∴(PCl5)=0.48625≃48.625×10−2∴ \left({PCl}_{5}\right) = 0 . 48625 ≃ 48 . 625 \times {10}^{- 2} or 49×10−249 \times {10}^{- 2}
