For the reaction PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) at equilibrium, K = 321. The equilibrium partial pressures of PCl3 and Cl2 are 1.11E0 atm and 4.39E0 atm, respectively. What is the equilibrium partial pressure of PCl5?

The equilibrium constant $\left(K_{P}\right)$ for the reaction $\mathrm{PCl}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{5}(g)$ is 2.93 at $127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ Initially there were 2.00 moles of $\mathrm{PCl}_{3}$ and 1.00 mole of $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ present. Calculate the partial pressures of the gases at equilibrium if the total pressure is $2.00 \mathrm{atm}$
The equilibrium constant $K_{P}$ for the reaction $$ \mathrm{PCl}_{5}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) $$ is 1.05 at $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The reaction starts with a mixture of $\mathrm{PCl}_{5}, \mathrm{PCl}_{3},$ and $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ at pressures 0.177 atm, 0.223 atm, and 0.111 atm, respectively, at $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ When the mixture comes to equilibrium at that temperature, which pressures will have decreased and which will have increased? Explain why.
