The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 3.61×10-4 at 426 K. PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) When a sufficiently large sample of PCl5(g) is introduced into an evacuated vessel at 426 K, the equilibrium concentration of Cl2(g) is found to be 0.327 M. Calculate the concentration of PCl5 in the equilibrium mixture.

the concentration of PCl5 in the equilibrium mixture = 296.20M

Explanation:

The concept of equilibrium constant was applied where the equilibrium constant is the ration of the concentration of the product over the concentration of the reactants raised to the power of their coefficients. it can be in terms of concentration in M or in terms of Pressure in atm.

The detaied steps is as shown in the attached file.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
