2. Use the information below to determine whether a reaction mixture in which the partial pressures of PCI3, Cl2 and PCls are 0.20, 0.40, and 0.60 atm, respectively is at equilibrium at 450 K. PCI3 (g) + Cl2 (g) = PCI5 (g) Kp = 3.8 at 450 K. a) Is the reaction at equilibrium? Show your work. b) If the reaction is not at equilibrium, in which direction does the reaction proceed? Justify your answer. c) If enough PCI3 is injected into the reaction mixture to double its partial pressure, would the mixture be closer to equilibrium? Explain why or why not.

2. Use the information below to determine whether a reaction mixture in which the partial
pressures of PCI3, Cl2 and PCIs are 0.20, 0.40, and 0.60 atm, respectively is at equilibrium at 450 K.
PCI3 (g) + Cl2 (g) = PCI5 (g) Kp = 3.8 at 450 K.
a) Is the reaction at equilibrium? Show your work.
b) If the reaction is not at equilibrium, in which direction does the reaction proceed? Justify your answer.
c) If enough PCI3 is injected into the reaction mixture to double its partial pressure, would the
mixture be closer to equilibrium? Explain why or why not.
