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

Correct answer: C. The temperature will increase. Byaddition of SO_ 2 , equilibrium will shift to RHS which is exothermic. Hence temp, will increase.

The reaction, SO_ 2 +Cl_ 2 SO_ 2 Cl_ 2 is exothermic and...

The reaction,

\mathrm{SO}_{2}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}

is exothermic and reversible. A mixture of

\mathrm{SO}_{2}(\mathrm{ g})

\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{ g})

and

\mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{l})

is at equilibrium in a closed container. Now a certain quantity of extra

\mathrm{SO}_{2}

is introduced into the container, the volume remaining the same. Which of the following is/are true?

C. The temperature will increase.

Byaddition of

\mathrm{SO}_{2}

, equilibrium will shift to RHS which is exothermic. Hence temp, will increase.
