Question

The volume of the reaction vessel containing an equilibrium mixture is increased, while holding the temperature constant for the following reaction : $SO_2Cl_2$(g) $SO_2$(g) + $Cl_2$(g) When equilibrium is re-established, which of the following statements is true ?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. According to the Le-Chatelier’s principle, with the increase in volume of the reaction mixture by keeping the temperature constant, the reaction moves in the direction where more number moles are present. So, concentration of 2 Cl is increased. Hence, according to the given reaction, option (a) is the correct answer.
