Q.

The equilibrium composition for the reaction

PCl3+Cl2PCl5 at 298 K is given below:

[PCl3]eq=0.2 mol L-1, [Cl2]eq=0.1 mol L-1, [PCl5]eq=0.40 mol L-1

If 0.2 mol of Cl2 is added at the same temperature, the equilibrium concentration of PCl5 is _____×10-2mol L-1

Given: Kc for the reaction at 298 K is 20.                      [2023]

     (0.4+x)=20(0.3-x)(0.2-x)
