Ch.15 - Chemical Equilibrium

Chapter 15, Problem 34

Phosphorus trichloride gas and chlorine gas react to form phosphorus pentachloride gas: PCl31g2 + Cl21g2 Δ PCl51g2. A 7.5-L gas vessel is charged with a mixture of PCl31g2 and Cl21g2, which is allowed to equilibrate at 450 K. At equilibrium the partial pressures of the three gases are PPCl3 = 0.124 atm, PCl2 = 0.157 atm, and PPCl5 = 1.30 atm. (a) What is the value of Kp at this temperature?
