Phosphorus reacts with chlorine as shown below. What is the expression for the equilibrium constant Kp for this reaction? Note that P(x) represents the partial pressure of component x.

 

a) 4*P(PCl3) / {6*P(Cl2)}
b) 4*P(PCl3) / {6*P(PCl3)*P(Cl2)}
c) P(PCl3)^4 / P(Cl2)^6
d) P(PCl3)^4 / {P(P4)*P(Cl2)^6}
e) P(PCl3)^2 / P(Cl2)^3
P4(s) + 6Cl(g)= 4PC13(g)
