Question 42

Multiple Choice

Consider the reaction:
PCl 3 (g) + Cl₂ (g) Consider the reaction: PCl 3 (g)  + Cl₂ (g)    PCl<sub>5</sub> (g)  K c = 4.2*10<sup>- 2</sup> A chemist charged a 1.00 liter reaction vessel with 0.125 moles of PCl<sub>5</sub> , 0.250 moles of Cl₂ and 0.375 moles of PCl 3 . If the equilibrium constant, K c , for this reaction is 4.2 10 - 2 , what is the reaction quotient, Q c , and what can be stated about the direction in which this reaction is occurring? A)  Q <sub>c</sub> = 0.75 and the reaction is proceeding from left to right as written. B)  Q <sub>c</sub> = 0.75 and the reaction is proceeding from right to left as written. C)  Q <sub>c</sub> = 0.75 and the reaction is at equilibrium. D)  Q <sub>c</sub> = 1.33 and the reaction is proceeding from left to right as written. E)  Q <sub>c</sub> = 1.33 and the reaction is proceeding from right to left as written. PCl5 (g) K c = 4.2*10- 2
