PCl5↽−−⇀PCl3+Cl2

 

What substances are present at equilibrium?
Cl2Cl2
PCl3PCl3
PCl5PCl5
Are the concentrations of phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5,PCl5, and phosphosphorus trichloride, PCl3,PCl3, constant or changing at equilibrium?
The concentrations of both PCl5PCl5 and PCl3PCl3 are changing at equilibrium.
The concentrations of both PCl5PCl5 and PCl3PCl3 are constant at equilibrium.
The concentration of PCl5PCl5 is constant, and the concentration of PCl3PCl3 is changing at equilibrium.
