Question

Consider this reaction: 2NOCI(g)⇌NO2(G)+CI2(g) ∆ H=77.16 KJ/mol

Predict the direction of shifting (to the left/right) if the following stresses are applied

1) [NOCI] is increased

2) Temperature is decreased

3)pressure is increased

4) [CI2] is increased

Answer 1

With increase in temperature, the equilibrium will shift to right according to Le Chatelier's principle. Thus, with an increase in temperature, more NO2(g) is produced and vice-versa.
