In a closed vessel,the dissociation of phosphorus pentachloride occurs as: $PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$. If the total pressure at equilibrium is $P$ and the degree of dissociation of $PCl_5$ is $x$,then the partial pressure of $PCl_3$ will be:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{2x}{1-x} \right) P$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{x}{x-1} \right) P$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{x}{1+x} \right) P$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{x}{x+1} \right) P$

For the reaction $PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$,the degree of dissociation is inversely proportional to the square root of the system pressure. Assuming constant temperature,if the volume of the system increases to $16$ times its initial volume,the degree of dissociation becomes ....... times.

For the reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B + C$,if we start with $2 \ mol$ of $A$ and $0.5 \ mol$ dissociates,what is the degree of dissociation of $A$?
