    What is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 in a 1.00 liter vessel.
    I have another question.
    The compound PCl5 decomposes into Cl2 and PCl3. The equilibrium of PCl5(g) Cl2(g) + PCl3(g) has a Keq of
    2.24 x 10-2 at 327o C. What is the equilibrium concentration of Cl2 in a 1.00 liter vessel containing 0.235 mole of PCl5 and 0.174 mole of PCl3?

    what's the formular for that because they already gave Keq or do I use that formula ans work backwards?

    The procedure should be the same. Given a general reaction

    w A + x B = y C + z D

    where w, x, y, and z are the numeric coefficients and A, B, C, and D are the reactants and products, the following is the definition of Keq:
