Homework Statement
When 1.000 mol PCl5 is intorduced into a 5.000L container @500K, 78.50% of PCl5 dissociates to give equilibrium mixture PCl5, PCl3, Cl2 : PCl5--->PCl3+Cl2 (this eq. is reversible)
(a) calculate Kc and Kp
(b) if the initial concentrations are [PCl5]=.500M, [PCl3]=.150M, and [Cl2=.600], in which direction does the rx proceed to reach equilibrium? what are the concentrations when the mixture reaches equilibrium?
Homework Equations
Kc=[Products]/[reactants]
Kp=Kc(RT)^n
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to find Kc of the initial problem, by getting the molarity (.2) of the reactant. I then multiplied by .785 to get the percent to put in the numerator, but am not getting the right answer in the book. I know in part b i must use the chart to convert to quadratic equation, but am having trouble with the first part (surprisingly, as its usually the second part which gives me trouble). I have tried this either which way and still can not get the right answer. Any input would be great. Thanks!
