In the reaction Cl₂ (g)+ 3F₂ (g)⇔ 2ClF₃ (g), reducing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium in the direction that produces fewer gas molecules. In this case, the reactants and products all have the same number of gas molecules (4), so a change in pressure will not affect the equilibrium position.
