The reactions, PCl5( g)⇌PCl3( g)+Cl2( g)\mathrm{PCl}_5(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{PCl}_3(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) and COCl2( g)=CO(g)+Cl2( g)\mathrm{COCl}_2(\mathrm{~g})=\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) are simultaneously in equilibrium in an equilibrium box at constant volume. A few moles of CO(g)\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) are later introduced into the vessel. After some time, the new equilibrium concentration of
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
PCl5\mathrm{PCl}_5 will become less
Option C (PCl5 will become less) is correct because adding CO shifts the second equilibrium to the left, reducing Cl2, which then shifts the first equilibrium to the left, increasing PCl5 consumption and thus decreasing its concentration.
