Phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5, an important reagent in organic chemistry for converting alcohols to alkyl chlorides (ROH ---> RCl), is hydrolyzed in water to form phosphoric acid and hydrogen chloride. In the gaseous state, however, PCl5 can decompose at 250oC according to the following reaction PCl5(g) <---> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g), for which K = 0.0240

If a 2500.-L vessel containing 3250. kg of PCl3(g) with a constant chlorine pressure of 3.525 atm is allowed to reach equilibrium, how many kilograms of PCl5(g) are produced?
