JEE Main 2022 — Chemical Equilibrium Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2022 (Online) 24th June Evening Shift
Question
PCl5 dissociates as
PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
5 moles of PCl5 are placed in a 200 litre vessel which contains 2 moles of N2 and is maintained at 600 K. The equilibrium pressure is 2.46 atm. The equilibrium constant Kp for the dissociation of PCl5 is __________ 103. (nearest integer)
(Given : R = 0.082 L atm K1 mol1; Assume ideal gas behaviour)

Step-by-step explanation

Here 2 moles of N2 also present that is why 2 moles always have to add in total mole calculation.
At equilibrium,
Pressure (P) = 2.46 atm
Volume (V) = 200 L
Temperature (T) = 600 K
Applying ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
2.46 200 = (7 + x) 0.082 600
x = 3
Now,
atm
