PCl5 decomposes as below,
PCl5 <--> PCl3 + Cl2
At t=0 (at initial) 100 mol - -
At equli. (100- 10) 10 10
= 90 mol
Mol fraction 90/110 10/110 10/110
= 0.82 = 0.091 = 0.091
Partial pressure =( 0.82)5 atm. =(0.091)5 atm. =(0.091)5 atm.
= 4.1 atm. = 0.455 atm. = 0.455 atm.
Now, Kp = p PCl3 X p Cl2 = (0.455 atm.) (0,455 atm.) = 0.051 atm.

p PCl5 (4.1 atm.)

p PCl5 (4.1 atm.)
