This document explores the equilibrium calculation for the chemical reaction between phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) and chlorine gas (Cl2) to produce phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5). Using the equilibrium constant (K = 0.0870), we derive expressions for the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium. We discuss the changes in molar concentrations and solve for the values of X representing changes in concentration due to the shift in equilibrium. The final equilibrium concentrations for PCl3, Cl2, and PCl5 are calculated in terms of their atm values.
