Question

For the reaction, PCl5 ( g) leftharpoons PCl3 ( g) + Cl2 ( g) the forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by (A) introducing an inert gas at constant volume (B) introducing chlorine gas at constant volume (C) introducing an inert gas at constant pressure (D) increasing the volume of the container

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

If inert gas is introduced at constant pressure, volume of container will have to be increased and this will favour the forward reaction. Also adding PCl5 (g )at constant volume will favour forward reaction because PCl5 (g ) is a reactant.

Q. For the reaction, $PC l_{5} (g) ⇌ PC l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$ the forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by

introducing an inert gas at constant volume

introducing chlorine gas at constant volume

introducing an inert gas at constant pressure

increasing the volume of the container

introducing $PC l_{5}$ at constant volume

If inert gas is introduced at constant pressure, volume of container will have to be increased and this will favour the forward reaction. Also adding $PC l_{5}$ (g )at constant volume will favour forward reaction because $PC l_{5}$ (g ) is a reactant.
