Solution
For the reaction
PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
The reaction given is an example of decomposition reaction and we know that decomposition reactions are endothermic in nature, i.e., ΔH > 0.
Further Δn = (1+1) – 1 = +1
Hence more number of gaseous molecules are present in products which shows more randomness i.e., ΔS > 0 (ΔS is positive)
