APFIVE Extent of Reaction at Equilibrium
For the reaction $$\mathrm{PCl}_5(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_3(g) + \mathrm{Cl}_2(g)$$, the equilibrium constant $$K = 0.0211$$ at 500 K. If 0.100 mol of $$\mathrm{PCl}_5$$ is placed in a 2.00 L container and allowed to reach equilibrium, which statement is most accurate?
A
More than 90% of the original PCl5 remains unreacted
B
Approximately half of the PCl5 decomposes
C
PCl5 completely decomposes to PCl3 and Cl2
D
Equal amounts of PCl5, PCl3, and Cl2 are present
