Detailed Solution

Given

\large \large PC{l_{5\left( g \right)}}\, \rightleftharpoons \,PC{l_{3\left( g \right)}} + \,C{l_{2\left( g \right)}};K_C=0.0414M

Moles of Cl2(g) at equilibrium = 0.1

Volume of the vessel = 1 litre

Due to the decomposition of PCl5 equal moles of PCl3 and Cl2 are formed

\large \therefore moles of PCl3(g) at equilibrium = 0.1

Now

  PCl5(g) \large \rightleftharpoons

PCl3(g) +

Cl2(g)
Moles at equilibrium a - 0.1   0.1 0.1
Equilibrium concentration \frac{a-0.1}{1}   \large \frac{0.1}{1} \large \frac{0.1}{1}

\large {K_C} = \frac{{\left[ {PC{l_3}} \right]\left[ {C{l_2}} \right]}}{{\left[ {PC{l_5}} \right]}}

\large 0.0414 = \frac{{\left( {\frac{{0.1}}{1}} \right)\left( {\frac{{0.1}}{1}} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{a-0.1}{1}} \right)}}

\large a-0.1 = \frac{{0.01}}{{0.0414}}

\large \boxed{a = 0.341}

Number of moles of PCl5 = 0.341
