Chemical equilibrium

Tutorial 23

    

At $250^oC$, phosphorus pentachloride is dissociated: $PCl_5(g)$ $PCl_3(g)$ $+$ $Cl_2(g)$ A $5$ L container was filled with pure $PCl_5(g)$ and the heated to $250^oC$ until equilibrium was established. The equilibrium molarities were:
$[PCl_5]$ $=$ $0.015\frac{mol}{L}$ $[PCl_3]$ $=$ $0.025\frac{mol}{L}$ $[Cl_2]$ $=$ $0.025\frac{mol}{L}$ Then the initial molarity of $PCl_5(g)$ must have been .......... $\frac{mol}{L}$
and the number of moles of $PCl_5(g)$ before dissociation was .......... mol.
