Question:
Phosphorus pentachloride dissociates according to the reaction:
\[ \mathrm{PCl}_{5}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{PCl}_{3}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \]
Show that \(K_{P}=\frac{\alpha^{2}\left(\frac{P}{P^{0}}\right)}{1-\alpha^{2}}\), where \(P\) is the total pressure and \(\alpha\) is the degree of dissociation.
