Question
Question: The reactions PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) and COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) are simultaneously in equilibrium...
The reactions PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) and COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) are simultaneously in equilibrium at constant volume. A few moles of CO(g) are introduced into the vessel. After some time, the new equilibrium concentration of
A
PCl5 will remain unchanged
B
Cl2 will be greater
C
PCl5 will become less
D
PCl5 will become greater
Answer
PCl5 will become less
Explanation
Solution
Cl2 (g) will get consumed and PCl5 will furnish Cl2 in the first reaction.
