At 80°C, 𝐾𝑐 = 1.87×10−3 for the reaction PH3BCl3(𝑠) ⇌ PH3(𝑔) + BCl3(𝑔) (a) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of PH3 and BCl3 if a solid sample of PH3BCl3 is placed in a closed vessel at 80°C and decomposes until equilibrium is reached. (b) If the flask has a volume of 0.250 L, what is the minimum mass of PH3BCl3(𝑠) that must be added to the flask to achieve equilibrium?

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction: PH3BCl3(s) ⇌ PH3(g) + BCl3(g). Since the solid does not appear in the expression, Kc = [PH3][BCl3].
Set up an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table. Assume initially there are no gases, so [PH3] = 0 and [BCl3] = 0. Let x be the change in concentration for both PH3 and BCl3 as the solid decomposes.
At equilibrium, the concentrations will be [PH3] = x and [BCl3] = x. Substitute these into the equilibrium expression: Kc = x^2.
Solve the equation Kc = x^2 for x to find the equilibrium concentrations of PH3 and BCl3. Remember that Kc = 1.87×10^−3 at 80°C.
For part (b), use the ideal gas law PV = nRT to find the number of moles of gas at equilibrium, which is 2x (since x moles of PH3 and x moles of BCl3 are produced). Calculate the mass of PH3BCl3 needed to produce these moles, using its molar mass.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Equilibrium Constant (Kc)

The equilibrium constant (Kc) is a numerical value that expresses the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium for a given reaction at a specific temperature. For the reaction PH₃BCl₃(s) ⇌ PH₃(g) + BCl₃(g), Kc = [PH₃][BCl₃] / [PH₃BCl₃]. A small Kc value, like 1.87×10⁻³, indicates that at equilibrium, the concentration of reactants is much greater than that of products.

Le Chatelier's Principle

Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the system will adjust itself to counteract the change and restore a new equilibrium. In this case, adding PH₃BCl₃(s) will shift the equilibrium towards the products, PH₃(g) and BCl₃(g), until a new balance is achieved.

Stoichiometry and Concentration Calculations

Stoichiometry involves using the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation to relate the amounts of reactants and products. To find the equilibrium concentrations of PH₃ and BCl₃, one must set up an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table based on the stoichiometry of the reaction and the initial amount of PH₃BCl₃(s) added, considering the volume of the flask to convert moles to concentrations.
