Q. The reaction, $4SO_2 + Cl_2 → SO_2Cl_24$ is exothermic and reversible. A mixture of $SO_{2(g)}, Cl_{2(g)}$ and $SO_2Cl_{2(l)}$ is at equilibrium in a closed container. Now, a certain quantity of extra $SO_2$ is introduced into the container, the volume remaining the same. Which of the following is true?

Equilibrium

Solution:

On adding $SO_2$, equilibrium shifts in forward. As it is exothermic reaction, temperature will increase.
