The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 5.01×10-2 at 538 K.

PCl5

      (g)

PCl3

      (g) +

Cl2

    (g)


An equilibrium mixture of the three gases in a 6.09 L container at 538 K contains 0.232 M PCl5,   0.108 M PCl3 and 0.108 M Cl2. What will be the concentrations of the three gases once equilibrium has been reestablished, if the volume of the container is increased to 11.6 L?

[PCl5] = M
[PCl3] = M
[Cl2] = M
