Question
Explanation / Answer
Q1.
2Cl2O = 2Cl2 + O2 + heat
this is exothermic, releases heat
so..
Q1
First, let us state the Le Chatelier principle which deals with changes in an equilibrium:
The statement is as follows:
If any equilibrium is disturbed, that is, change in conditions such as P,T, concentration, partial pressure, etc.., the system will counterbalance such change in order to favour the system's equilbirium.
Now, knowing this:
Q1.
increase of Cl2O will favour more Cl2 and O2 production, it shifts toward RIGHT
Q2.
icnrease in O2, a product, favours more Cl2O production, so shift goes toward LEFT
Q3.
Decrease in product makes the shift go toward even MORE produicts, so it goes to RIGHT
Q4.
Increase in prsesure favours the LEAST mol of gas formation, this is Cl2O, so shift goes toward REACTANTS, LEFT
Q5.
increase in T, will not favour this, since it is exothermic, so this favours Cl2O, the reactants, it goes to LEFT
Q6.
catlayst will only increase rate not equilibrium, NO EFFECT
7
addition of an inert gas increases pressure, similar as to 4, the shift goes toward more reactants
