An acidic solution is 0.1M in HCl and 0.2 H2so4. volume is equal to no of moles divided by molarity.
number of moles of HCl is 450ml x 0.1 divided by 1000 which is equal to 0.045 moles
volume of HCl is therefore 0.45 divided by 0.16 which is 2.81 litres
Number of moles of H2so4 is 450ml x 0.2 divided by 1000 which is equal to 0.09 moles
volume of H2SO4 IS 0.09 divided by 0.16 which is equal to 0.56 litres
The question only asks regarding the direction of the equilibrium reaction. The general expression of Kp is:
Kp = [PCl₅]/[PCl₃][Cl₂]
The higher the value of K (greater than 1), the more spontaneous the reaction (favors the product side). Otherwise, it favors the reactant side. Since Kp = 0.087 which is less than 1, the direction favors the forward reaction towards the product side.
