The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ of $PCl_5$ obeying the equilibrium $PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$ is related to the pressure at equilibrium by

  • A
    $\alpha \propto P$
  • B
    $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{P}}$
  • C
    $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{P^2}$
  • D
    $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{P^4}$
