At 473 K, equilibrium constant Kc for decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5 is \( 8.3 \times 10^{-3}\). If decomposition is depicted as,
\( PCl_{5}(g) ⇌ PCl_{3}(g)+Cl_{2}(g)\)
∆rH° = 124.0 kJmol–1
(a) Write an expression for Kc for the reaction.
(b) What is the value of Kc for the reverse reaction at the same temperature?
(c) What would be the effect on Kc if
(i) more PCl5 is added
(ii) pressure is increased?
(iii) The temperature is increased?
(a) \( K_{c}=\dfrac{[PCl_{3}(g)][Cl_{2}(g)]}{[PCl_{3}(g)]}\)
(b) Value of Kc for the reverse reaction at the same temperature is:
\( K_{c}^{‘} = \dfrac{1}{K_{c}}\\ \\ \)
\( =\dfrac{1}{8.3 \times 10^{-3}} \)
\( = 1.2048 \times 10^{2}\\ \\ \)
\( =120.48\)
(c)
(i) Kc would remain the same because in this case, the temperature remains the same.
(ii) Kc is constant at a constant temperature. Thus, in this case, Kc would not change.
(iii) In an endothermic reaction, the value of Kc increases with an increase in temperature. Since the given reaction in an endothermic reaction, the value of Kc will increase if the temperature is increased.
Answered by Pragya Singh | 1 year agoThe concentration of sulphide ion in 0.1M HCl solution saturated with hydrogen sulphide is 1.0 × 10–19 M. If 10 mL of this is added to 5 mL of 0.04M solution of the following: FeSO4, MnCl2, ZnCl2 and CdCl2 . in which of these solutions precipitation will take place?
What is the minimum volume of water required to dissolve 1g of calcium sulphate at 298 K? (For calcium sulphate, Ksp is 9.1 × 10–6).
What is the maximum concentration of equimolar solutions of ferrous sulphate and sodium sulphide so that when mixed in equal volumes, there is no precipitation of iron sulphide? (For iron sulphide, Ksp = 6.3 × 10–18).
The ionization constant of benzoic acid is 6.46 × 10–5 and Ksp for silver benzoate is 2.5 × 10–13. How many times is silver benzoate more soluble in a buffer of pH 3.19 compared to its solubility in pure water?
Equal volumes of 0.002 M solutions of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed together. Will it lead to precipitation of copper iodate? (For cupric iodate Ksp = 7.4 × 10–8 ).
