Question

Consider the following reactions:
1.  P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g)⇄ 4 PCl3(g)    K 1 = 2.00 × 1019
2.  PCl5(g) ⇄ PCl3(g) + Cl2 (g)    K 2 = 1.13× 10-2

Calculate K for the reaction:    4 PCl5(g) ⇄ P4(g) + 10 Cl2(g)

Expert Solution
Step 1

The two reactions given are,

1) P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g)⇄ 4 PCl3(g)    K 1 = 2.00 × 1019 

2) PCl5(g) ⇄ PCl3(g) + Cl2 (g)    K 2 = 1.13× 10-2
