Question

The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction, PCl5(g) ⇋ PCl3(g) + Cl2 (g) is 16. If the volume of the container is reduced to one half its original volume, the value of Kp for the reaction at the same temperature will be: (A) 8 (B) 16 (C) 32 (D) 64

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Explanation: because Kp is independent of volume.

It depends on temperature, since temperature is same, Kp will also be same!

Answer 2

Answer:16

Explanation:

Hope this helps
