Question

10.0 mol PCl3(g), 20.0 mol Cl2(g), and 40.0 mol PCl5(g) are introduced in a previously evacuated 10.0-L vessel at 25.0oC. The Kfor the reaction at this temperature is 1.47×10–7:  

PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g),       KP= 1.47×10–7 

What is the immediate Gibbs free energy change for the reaction? In what direction the reaction will spontaneously approach equilibrium? Enter your answer with correct units and significant figures, and check the correct box below:

 

Reaction proceeds spontaneously forward towards equilibrium.

 

Reaction is at equilibrium.

 

Reaction proceeds spontaneously backward towards equilibrium.
