Consider the following equilibrium system. If the pressure of Cl2(g) is increase

Question

Consider the following equilibrium system. If the pressure of Cl2(g) is increased, what happens to the pressure of Brz(g), and why? Cl2(g)+ Br2(g)2 BrCI(g) O The pressure of Br2 will decrease, because increased Cl will increase the value of Q O The pressure of Br2 will also increase because Cl2 and Brz must have equal pressures at equilibrium. O The pressure of Brz will also increase, because the balanced reaction has equal stoichiometry for Clh and Br O The pressure of Bry will decrease, because more Clz molecules will olide with Bry molecules, ncreasing the forward reaction rate and consuming more Brz.

Explanation / Answer

Option C) The pressure of Br2 will also increase, because the balanced equation has equal stoichiometry of Cl2 and Br2 .

As increase the pressure the reaction will moves in that direction in which the number of gaseous moles are decrease and if the gas number of moles of reactant and products are equals then there is no effect of pressure.
