In the following system, PCl ₅( ~g ) PCl ₃( ~g )+ Cl ₂( ~g ) at equilibrium, upon addition of xenon gas at constant T & p , the concentration of
Options
- APCl ₅ will increase
- BCl ₂ will decrease
- CPCl ₅, PCl ₃ & Cl ₂ remain constant
- DPCl ₃ will increase
Correct answer
B. Cl ₂ will decrease
Step-by-step solution
On addition of inert gas at constant P & T, reaction moves in the direction of greater no. of moles so it will shift in forward direction, so [ PCl ₅ ] decrease and [ PCl ₃ ] & [ Cl ₂ ] will increase.
