Question

For the reaction: $\mathrm{PCl}_{5(\mathrm{~g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{PCl}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$ The forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b, c, d) : If we introduce an inert gas at constant pressure then the equilibrium is shifted in the direction in which the number of moles increases. In this case the forward reaction is accelerated by increase in quantity of $\mathrm{PCl}_{5}$ (a reactant) and also by increase of space (i.e. volume of container).\
