If the equilibrium reaction is established in a closed vessel, then vapor density will be inversely proportional to the number of moles of the gaseous species as the density of the gaseous mixture (r) is a constant.

inital vapour density/final vapour density =number of moles at equilibrium/initial mole
we have
initial mole=1
initial vapour density= molecular formula of PCL5/2 =208.23/2 =104
final vapour density =100
PCL5----PCL3 +CL2
inital 1 0 0
final 1-d d d
number of moles at equilibrium =1+d,where d is the degree of dissociation
104/100 =1+d/1
1.04 =1+d
d=.04 or 4%
