Q. Vapour density of the equilibrium mixture of the reaction
$SO_{2}Cl_{2} (g) \rightleftharpoons SO_{2} (g) + Cl_{2} (g)$ is $50.$ The extent of dissociation of $SO_{2} Cl_{2}$ (g) is

Equilibrium

Solution:

$50=\frac{\left(64+71\right)}{\left(1+\alpha\right)}=\frac{135}{\left(1+\alpha\right)}$
or $1+\alpha =\frac{135}{2\times50}=1.35$
$\alpha=0.35 \Rightarrow 35.0\%$
