Question

The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 1.31×10-2 at 502 K.

PCl5(g) =PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)


An equilibrium mixture of the three gases in a 18.3 L container at 502 K contains 0.161 M PCl5,   4.59×10-2 M PCl3 and 4.59×10-2 M Cl2. What will be the concentrations of the three gases once equilibrium has been reestablished, if the equilibrium mixture is compressed at constant temperature to a volume of 7.43 L?

[PCl5] =  ____M
[PCl3] =  ____M
[Cl2] =  ____M
