Given the equilibrium system PCL55(g) <---> PCL3(g) + Cl2(g)

Question

k = 12.5 at 60 degrees Celsius. A 1.0-L reaction vessel is analyzed and found to contain 3.2 mol Cl2(g), 1.5 mol PCl3(g) and 2.0 mol PCl5(g). Show that the reaction mixture has not yet reached equilibrium.

Answer 1

This is done the same way as the previous problem. Post your work if you get stuck and explain exactly what you don't understand about the next step.
