The reaction, SO ₂+ Cl ₂ SO ₂ Cl ₂ is exothermic and reversible. A mixture of SO ₂( ~g ) , Cl ₂( ~g ) and SO ₂ Cl ₂( l ) is at equilibrium in a closed container. Now a certain quantity of extra SO ₂ is introduced into the container, the volume remaining the same. Which of the following is/are true?
Options
- AThe pressure inside the container will not change.
- BThe temperature will not change.
- CThe temperature will increase.
- DThe temperature will decrease.
Correct answer
C. The temperature will increase.
Step-by-step solution
Byaddition of SO ₂ , equilibrium will shift to RHS which is exothermic. Hence temp, will increase.
