PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) --> PCl5(g)

Assume that the initial pressure is P for each PCl3 and Cl2

When the reaction reach equilibrium, assume that the partial pressure of PCl5 is x

At equilibrium,

partial pressure of PCl3 = P-x

partial pressure of Cl2 = P-x

partial pressure of PCl5 = x

Kp = [partial pressure of PCl5]/{[partial pressure of PCl3][partial pressure of Cl2]}

2.01 = (P-x)2/x

 

So when you has been given P or x, you are able to solve this question.
