Consider the following reversible reaction at equilibrium: CO(g)+ Cl₂(g) COCl₂(g), where $\Delta$H = -108.6 kJ. When the temperature of the reaction vessel decreases, the system responds by forming more COCl₂.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when the temperature of a system at equilibrium is decreased, the system will shift in the direction that releases heat, which in this case is the forward reaction. Therefore, more COCl₂ will be formed, making the statement true.

Consider the Following Reversible Reaction at Equilibrium: CO(g)+ Cl2(g) Δ\DeltaΔ H = -1086 KJ

Consider the Following Reversible Reaction at Equilibrium: CO(g)+ Cl₂(g) $\Delta$ H = -1086 KJ
