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

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

What is the vapor density of a mixture containing $20\%\, NO_2$ by volume and $N_2O_4$?

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.
