Phosphorus pentachloride dissociates as follows,in a closed reaction vessel:
$PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
If total pressure at equilibrium of the reaction mixture is $P$ and degree of dissociation of $PCl_5$ is $x,$ the partial pressure of $PCl_3$ will be:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{x}{x - 1} \right) P$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{x}{1 - x} \right) P$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{x}{1 + x} \right) P$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{2x}{1 - x} \right) P$

The equilibrium constant for the decomposition of $H_2O_{(g)}$: $H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)}$ $(\Delta G^{\circ} = 92.34 \ kJ \ mol^{-1})$ is $8.0 \times 10^{-3}$ at $2300 \ K$ and the total pressure at equilibrium is $1 \ bar$. Under this condition,the degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ of water is $............ \times 10^{-2}$ (nearest integer value). [Assume $\alpha$ is negligible with respect to $1$]
