Question

Consider the equilibrium between PCl5PCl3 and Cl2.

PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)       K = 9.17×10-2 at 540 K

The reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium in a 12.8-L flask. At equilibrium, [PCl5] = 0.112 M, [PCl3] = 0.102 M and [Cl2] = 0.102 M.
(a) The equilibrium mixture is transferred to a 6.40-L flask. In which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?

(b) Calculate the new equilibrium concentrations that result when the equilibrium mixture is transferred to a 6.40-L flask.

[PCl5] =  M
[PCl3] =  M
[Cl2] =  M
