At definite temp the K_c of the following reaction is 0.18. PCl_(3(g))

1.	At definite temp the K_c of the following reaction is 0.18. PCl_(3(g))+Cl_(2(g)) hArr PCl_(5(g)) At a definite temp. in reactionmixture [PCl_3]= 0.042 M , [Cl_2]= 0.024 M and [PCl_5]= 0.005 M . Is this reaction in equilibrium ? In which direction reaction moves ?
Answer» Solution :`Q_c=4.96 gt K_c` THEREFORE not equilibrium. Equilibrium constant decreasing to 0.18 and the REACTION will be in reverse direction.
