Answer

$$\begin{vmatrix} Compound& [ PCl_5 ]& [ PCl_3 ]& [ Cl_2 ]\\ Initial& 0.075 & 0 & 0 \\ Change& -x& +x& +x\\ Equilibrium& 0.075 -x& 0 +x& 0 +x\\ \end{vmatrix}$$

Work Step by Step

1. Calculate the concentration of $PCl_5$: $$Molarity = \frac{0.15 \space mol}{2.0 \space L} = 0.075 \space M$$ 2. Draw the ICE table for this equilibrium: $$\begin{vmatrix} Compound& [ PCl_5 ]& [ PCl_3 ]& [ Cl_2 ]\\ Initial& 0.075 & 0 & 0 \\ Change& -x& +x& +x\\ Equilibrium& 0.075 -x& 0 +x& 0 +x\\ \end{vmatrix}$$
