The following equilibrium will shift in the direction of the product:
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
4HCl + O₂ → 2H₂O + 2Cl₂
Cl₂ was removed
Required
Equilibrium changes
Solution
Reaction = - action
adding the products ⇒ Shifts in the direction of the reactants
reducing the products ⇒Shifts in the direction of the products
Cl₂ as a product, so if Cl₂ is taken or reduced, the reaction will try to maintain system equilibrium by moving to the right (product formation) ⇒ Shift in the direction of the product:
Atoms bond to form molecules: Two or more atoms may bond with each other to form a molecule. When two hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons via covalent bonds, a water molecule is formed.
