#40%# of #"PCl"_5# is not dissociated at #300^@"C"#. The reaction is carried out in a flask of #"1-L"# capacity. The value of #K_c# would be?
Here's what I got.
First off, it's important to note that since you don't know the initial phosphorus pentachloride concentration, you are unable to provide a numerical solution in this case.
Therefore, you can, at most, give an expression for the reaction's equilibrium constant that depends on the reactant's initial concentration or mole count.
Write the chemical equation that describes this equilibrium reaction in a balanced manner first.
It is noteworthy that a dissociation of one mole of phosphorus pentachloride yields one mole of phosphorus trichloride and one mole of chlorine gas.
This indicates that the phosphorus pentachloride concentration that undergoes reaction is equivalent to
As a result, you could say that the response will result in
Phosphorus pentachloride's equilibrium concentration is going to be
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is defined as follows:
This will equal—I'll write the equilibrium constant's expression without any additional units—in your situation!

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
