The value of Kc C. remains the same.

The value of Qc C. is less than Kc.

The reaction must: A. run in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium

The number of moles of Cl2 will B. decrease.

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a system in equilibrium undergoes a change in conditions, it will move to a new position in order to counteract the effect that disturbed it and recover the state of equilibrium.

A decrease in volume causes the system to evolve in the direction in which there is less volume, that is, where the number of gaseous moles is less.

But temperature is the only variable that, in addition to influencing equilibrium, modifies the value of the constant Kc. So if the volume of the equilibrium system is suddenly decreased at constant temperature: The value of Kc remains the same.

As mentioned, if the volume of an equilibrium gas system decreases, the system moves to where there are fewer moles. In this case, being:

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇔ PCl₅(g)

The equilibrium in this case then shifts to the right because there is 1 mole in the term on the right, compared to the two moles on the left. So, The reaction must: A. run in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium.

By decreasing the volume, and so that Kc remains constant, being:

$Kc=\frac{[PCl_{5} ]}{[PCl_{3}]*[Cl_{2} ]}=\frac{\frac{nPCl_{5} }{Volume} }{\frac{nPCl_{3}}{Volume}*\frac{nCl_{2} }{Volume} } =\frac{nPCl_{5}}{nPCl_{3}*nCl_{2}} *Volume$

where nPCl₅, nPCl₃ and nCl₂ are the moles in equilibrium of PCl₅, PCl₃ and Cl₂

so, the number of moles of Cl₂ should decrease.The number of moles of Cl2 will B. decrease.

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system will evolve to the right, the direct reaction prevailing, to increase the concentration of products. So in this case, if the reaction moves to the right, the value of Qc C. is less than Kc.

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.
