Answer

$$K_c = \frac{[Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$$

Work Step by Step

- Since $PCl_3$ is liquid in this reaction, its concentration is constant. Thus, it should not appear in the equilibrium expression. - In order to fix this mistake, just remove $[PCl_3]$ from the expression. $$K_c = \frac{[Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$$
