Predict and calculate the effect of concentration changes on an equilibrium system. Some SO2Cl2 is allowed to dissociate into SO2 and Cl2 at 373 K. At equilibrium, [SO2Cl2] = 0.234 M, and [SO2] = [Cl2] = 0.136 M. Additional SO2 is added so that [SO2]new = 0.216 M and the system is allowed to once again reach equilibrium. SO2Cl2(g) SO2(g) + Cl2(g) K = 7.84×10-2 at 373 K (a) In which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? (b) What are the new concentrations of reactants and products after the system reaches equilibrium? [SO2Cl2] = M [SO2] = M [Cl2] = M
