PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)⇄PCl5(g)Kc=0.11 A 0.60mol sample of PCl3(g) and a 0.70mol sample of Cl2(g) are placed in a previously evacuated 1.0L rigid container, and the reaction represented above takes place. At equilibrium, the concentration of PCl5(g) in the container is 0.040M . (a) On the graph attached, carefully draw three curves, one for each of the three gases. The curves must show how the concentration of each of the three gases changes as equilibrium is established. Label each curve with the formula of the gas. (b) Explain how the slopes of the curves at equilibrium can be used to show that the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same at equilibrium. As the reaction occurs at constant temperature, does the pressure inside the container increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.
