Question

Using the equation PCl S(g) PCl 3(g) +Cl 2(g) , if PCl 3 is added, what way will the equilibrium shift?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation of reaction:

     PCl₅     ⇆     PCl₃   +  Cl₂

Problem: what direction will the reaction shift towards if PCl₃ is added;

Solution:

According to Le Chatelier's principle "if any conditions of a system in equilibrium is changed, the system will adjust itself in order to annul the effect of the change".

If the concentration of PCl₃ is increase, the equilibrium will shift towards the left because it is used up in that direction. More of the PCl₅ will be produced in order for the system to adjust back to equilibrium.
