PClX5 (molar mass 208.5) dissociates as PClX5PClX3+ClX2. The observed vapour density of the equilibrium mixture at a certain temperature is 80. The degree of dissociation (two decimals) is
Numerical answer type, tolerance 0.01.
Answer: 0.3
Theoretical vapour density D=208.5/2=104.25. For 1mol becoming 1+α: α=dD−d=80104.25−80=0.3031≈0.30.
