the equilibrium constant kc for the decomposition of 'pcl5'is 0.0625mol/L at 300c predict the value of kp?

PCl₅ ? PCl₃ + Cl₂
   (g)       (g)      (g)

We know,

        Kp = Kc (RT)^?n

given data

        Kc = 0.0625 mol/L

        R = 0.082 + atm/k/mol

        T = 300^oC = 300 + 273

            = 573K

         ?n = number of moles of (products - Reactants)

              = (1 + 1 - 1)

              = 1
