Gaseous phosphorus pentachloride decomposes according to the reaction$$\mathrm{PCl}_{5}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_{3}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)$$The equilibrium system was analyzed at a particular temperature, and the concentrations of the substances present were determined to be $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{5}\right]=1.1 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M},$ $\left[\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right]=0.325 \mathrm{M},$ and $\left[\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]=3.9 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M}$ . Calculate the value of $K$ for the reaction.
$\mathrm{K}=0.115$

So this reaction we has Bosphorous pencil chloride. You see all five as a gas right becoming PCL three also as a gas and seal to as a guess. And so we're given the equilibrium concentrations of the cities. So at equilibrium we have PCL five is equal to 1.1 times 10 to the negative Second Moeller, we have PCL three is equal 2.3 to 5 Mueller and seal too is equal to 3.9 times tense and I give 30 more. And so since we have these contractors that equilibrium is we were asked to find Hey, we need toe right out the mass action expression for K and then plug in these values and so do that in purple or mass action expressions giving the product of the concentration of the products seal to PCL three over PCL five. So we have c l two PCL three the concentration of those There's no power because they're all to the coefficient of one Move PSL PCL five down here and now we plug in so 3.9 times 10 to negative third from here 0.3 to 5 over 1.1 time sense in your second. And when you do that, the value of K that you're gonna get is 0.115 Now, remember, tase always you, Nicholas always. That's just that's just the fact That's by definition way. So this is our final answer. The teacher tells you otherwise, um, they're uninformed.
