Can anyone explain how to break down this problem (esp. what table exactly should we be creating)?
 
When 14.250 moles of PCl5 gas is placed in a 3.00 liter contained and comes to equilibrium at a constant temperature, 40.0% of the PCl5 decomposes according to the equation:

PCl5 (g) <-> PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g).

What is the value of Kc for this reaction?

At equilibrium the concentrations should be as follows:

PCl5 (14.25-5.7)=8.55moles/3=2.85M
PCl3 (14.25x.40)=5.7moles/3=1.9M
Cl2=PCl3=1.9M

Kc= [1.9] x [1.9]/2.85=1.27

Does this help?

For PCL5, why subtract 5.7 from 14.25? i dun git it
