Partial Pressure Calculation?
The answer for the attached HW problem is 5.4 bar, but I dont understand why. Why is the equation (25)(1.18)/(5.43) instead of (25)(5.43)/(1.18)?

Re: Partial Pressure Calculation?
The equation is like that because K= (PPCl3)(PCl2)/(PPCl5)
and so when you're solving for the partial pressure of PPCl3 you can rearrange the equation to be this:
PPCl3= (K)(PPCl5)/(PCl2)
After plugging in the values you will get PPCl3=(25)(1.18)/(5.43)
