Repeat

\large \alpha = \frac{{D - d}}{{d\left( {n - 1} \right)}}
\large PC{l_{5\left( g \right)\,}}\, \rightleftharpoons \,PC{l_{3\left( g \right)}}\, + \,C{l_{2\left( g \right)}}

n = 2

D = 104.16

d = 62

\large \alpha = \frac{{D - d}}{{d\left( {n - 1} \right)}}
\large \alpha = \frac{{\left( {104.16 - 62} \right)}}{{62\left( {2 - 1} \right)}}
\large \alpha = \frac{{42.16}}{{62}}
\large \boxed{\alpha = 0.68}

Percentage dissociation of PCl5 = 0.68×100 =68%
