JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 6.1. Equilibrium - 1 (chemical Equilibrium)

In the following system, \(\mathrm{PCl}_5(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_3(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g})\) at equilibrium, upon addition of xenon gas at constant \(\mathrm{T} \& \mathrm{p}\), the concentration of...

  1. A \(\mathrm{PCl}_5\) will increase
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) will decrease
  3. C \(\mathrm{PCl}_5, \mathrm{PCl}_3 \& \mathrm{Cl}_2\) remain constant
  4. D \(\mathrm{PCl}_3\) will increase
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{PCl}_3\) will increase

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On addition of inert gas at constant P & T, reaction moves in the direction of greater no. of moles so it will shift in forward direction, so \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_5\right]\) decrease and \(\left[\mathrm{PCl}_3\right] \&\left[\mathrm{Cl}_2\right]\) will increase.
