Chapter 15, Problem 63E

Consider this reaction at equilibrium.

$\text{CO}(g)+{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons {\text{COCl}}_{\text{2}}(g)$

Predict the effect (shift right, shift left, or no effect) of these changes.

a. adding ${\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}$ to the reaction mixture

b. adding ${\text{COCl}}_{\text{2}}$ to the reaction mixture

c. adding $\text{CO}$ to the reaction mixture
