The degree of dissociation of $PCl_5$ $(\alpha)$ obeying the equilibrium,$PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$,is approximately related to the pressure at equilibrium by (given $\alpha << 1$):

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

Ammonia is heated in a closed vessel in the presence of a catalyst at $15 \ atm$ pressure and a temperature range of $27 \ ^\circ C$ to $347 \ ^\circ C$. Under these conditions,ammonia undergoes partial dissociation according to the reaction $2NH_3 \rightleftharpoons N_2 + 3H_2$. When the pressure is increased to $50 \ atm$ while keeping the volume of the vessel constant,calculate the percentage of $NH_3$ dissociated.
