Question:

In the following system, $ PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g) $ at equilibrium, upon addition of xenon gas at constant T and p, the concentration of

Show Hint

Adding an inert gas at constant pressure and temperature increases the volume of the container. This causes the equilibrium to shift towards the side with more moles of gas.

  • \( PCl_5 \) will increase
  • \( Cl_2 \) will decrease
  • \( PCl_5 \), \( PCl_3 \) and \( Cl_2 \) remain constant
  • \( PCl_3 \) will increase

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

On addition of inert gas at constant P and T, reaction moves in the direction of greater no. of moles so it will shift in forward direction, so \( [PCl_5] \) decrease and \( [PCl_3] \) and \( [Cl_2] \) will increase.
