- a. b. c. d. e.PCl5(g) PCl5(g) + Cl2(g)
- a. b. c. d. e.CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g)
- a. b. c. d. e.CaCO3 (s) Ca (s) + CO2(g)
a.Not enough information provided
b.Rxn Shift Right (Product)
c.Rxn Shift Left (reactant)
d.No Change
e.No right answer
Explanation / Answer
According to Le-Chateier's principle, decreasing the volume will increases the pressure. In order to decrease the increased pressure, the equilibrium will shift to that diection in which the number of moles of gaseous reactants are less.
N2(g) + O2(g) NO(g); option B) reaction shift right is correct
PCl5(g) PCl5(g) + Cl2(g); option C) reaction shift left is correct
CO(g) + Cl2(g) COCl2(g); option B) reaction shift right is correct
CaCO3 (s) Ca (s) + CO2(g); option C) reaction shift left is correct
