Question

predict the fact of each of the following on the indicated equilibrium system in terms of direction of equilibrium shift (forward, reverse, or neither)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Given that;

`\text{ H}_(2(g))\text{ + Cl}_(2(g))\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ 2HCl}_((g))\text{ + 194KJ}`

The above reaction is an example of an exothermic reaction.

Recall, that exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which heat is liberated to the surroundings during the reaction.

To indicate the shift of the equilibrium on the reaction, apply Le Chatelier's principle

Le Chatelier's principle states that when an external constraints such as concentration, temperature or pressure is imposed on a system in equilirium, the equilibrium shift so as to annul the effect the of the constraints.

Since Cl2 is one of the reactants, thtion, tempe
