PCl5 ==> PCl3 + Cl2
for every PCl3 formed there must also be one Cl2 formed

Look at the balanced equation:
PCl5 ==> PCl3 + Cl2
for every PCl3 formed there must also be one Cl2 formed

So in terms of moles they are the same in terms of products and reactants so should PCl5 be the same as the others?

If x mol of PCl5 breakdown then x mol of the other two will be formed, but the mol of PCl5 must be (original mol - x)

No, because PCl5 has to break down to give the others.

So the partial pressures must sum to give AB?

So do you mean AB --> A + B?

In terms of moles.
If the initial mol of PCl5 is n
and the mol of PCl5 decomposed is x
Then the final mol of each component:
PCl5 = (n-x)
PCl3 = x
Cl2 = x

I never mentioned partial pressures ...

So if CaCO3--> CaO + O2
So does this only work for homogeneous systems?

You cannot have the concentration of a solid, or a pure liquid.

I think get it so for (aq) or (g) equations.

The moles relationship works of course, but you cannot do equilibrium calculations without (aq) or (g)

This is from the CGP textbook page 315. I'm confused about the state of matter stuff now.

This is the equilibrium constant with regard to partial pressures. It can only apply to gases.
Kc applies to solutions or gases.
