The equilibrium constant K c = 0.56 for the reaction PCl 3 (g) + Cl 2 (g)

Question:

The equilibrium constant Kc = 0.56 for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) at 250 °C. Upon analysis, 1.50 mol PCl5, 3.00 mol PCl3, and 0.500 mol Cl2 were found to be present in a reaction vessel of volume 0.500 L at 250 °C. 

(a) Is the reaction at equilibrium? 

(b) If not, in which direction does it tend to proceed?

(c) What is the equilibrium composition of the reaction system?
