The trichloride ion, Cl 3 , is not very stable in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant

Question:

The trichloride ion, Cl3, is not very stable in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant for the following dissociation reaction is 5.5 at 25 °C:

Cl (aq) Cl(aq) + Cl(aq)

(a) Draw a Lewis structure for the Cl3 ion and predict the geometry.

(b) Calculate the equilibrium concentration of Cl3 if 0.0010 moles each of KCl and Cl2 are dissolved in water at 25 °C to make 1.0 L of solution.
