The initial equilibrium concentrations are given as:
[PCl3]eq=0.2mol/L, [Cl2]eq=0.1mol/L, [PCl5]eq=0.4mol/L.
After adding 0.2mol of Cl2, the new concentration of Cl2 becomes 0.1+0.2=0.3mol/L.
Let the change in concentration be x, so at the new equilibrium, the concentrations are:
[PCl3]=0.2−xmol/L, [Cl2]=0.3−xmol/L, [PCl5]=0.4+xmol/L.
Using the equilibrium constant expression Kc=20, we get:
20=(0.2−x)(0.3−x)0.4+x.
Solving for x, we find x≈0.086.
Therefore, the new equilibrium concentration of PCl5 is:
[PCl5]new eq=0.4+0.086=0.486mol/L=48.6×10−2mol/L.
