Phosphorus pentachloride dissociates as follows, in a closed reaction vessel,

PCl5 (g)    PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g)

If total pressure at equilibrium of the reaction mixture is 'p' and degree of dissociation of PCl5 is x, the partial pressure of PCl3 will be:

  1. \(\left(\frac{x}{x+1}\right) p\)
  2. \(\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x}\right) p\)
  3. \(\left(\frac{x}{x-1}\right) p\)
  4. \(\left(\frac{x}{1-x}\right) p\)

Answer

(A) ( x x+1 ) p
