Pcl5 => pcl3+cl2
The no of moles of cl2 produced will be ______? If one mole of pcl5 is heated 250c in vessel having a capacity of 10dm^3. At 250°c kc= 0.041

Respuesta :

10dm^3. At 250°c kc= 0.041

Answer: 0.47 moles

Explanation:

Initial moles of  [tex]PCl_5[/tex] = 1 mole

Volume of container = [tex]10dm^3=10L[/tex]

Initial concentration of [tex]PCL_5=\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{1mole}{10L}=0.1M[/tex]  

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                [tex]PCL_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)[/tex]

Initial conc.         0.1 M             0    0

At eqm. conc.    (0.1-x) M   (x) M   (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

[tex]K_c=\frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}[/tex]

[tex]0.041=\frac{x\times x}{0.1-x}[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]x=0.047[/tex]

Thus concentration of [tex]Cl_2[/tex] produced is 0.047 M

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n= moles of solute  

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in L

[tex]0.047M=\frac{n}{10L}[/tex]

[tex]n=0.47moles[/tex]

Thus moles of [tex]Cl_2[/tex] produced is 0.47.
