Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: |
Part A Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if COCl2 is added to the reaction mixture. Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if is added to the reaction mixture.
Part B Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if Cl2 is added to the reaction mixture. Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if is added to the reaction mixture.
Part C Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if COCl2 is removed from the reaction mixture. Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged if is removed from the reaction mixture.

Given CO(g)+Cl2(g) < ----- > COCl2(g)
Part A:
According to Le Chatelier's principle Addition of products will shift the equilibrium to left side
Here COCl2 is product. so addition of COCl2 will shift the equilibrium to left side
Part B :
According to Le Chatelier's principle Addition of Reactants will shift the equilibrium toward product side or Right side
Here Cl2 is a reactant. so addition of Cl2 will shift the equilibrium to Right side
Part C :
According to Le Chatelier's principle removal of products will shift the equilibrium to product side or Right side
Here COCl2 is product. so removal of COCl2 will shift the equilibrium to right side
