Chapter 14, Problem 59E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for an exothermic reaction is given. The option corresponding to the increase in quantity of ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_4{\text{Cl}}_2$ at equilibrium in the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction: According to Le Chatelier’s principle an equilibrium reaction will try to shift in that direction where the effect of induced change is decreased.

To determine: The option corresponding to the increase in quantity of ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_4{\text{Cl}}_2$ at equilibrium in the given reaction.

Correct answer: The correct option is (b), (c) and (d).
