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

JEE Main 2022 (Online) 24th June Evening Shift Chemistry - Chemical Equilibrium Question 40 English 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
