The exothermic formation of `ClF_(3)` is represented by thr equation:
`Cl_(2)(g)+3F_(2)(g) hArr 2ClF_(3)(g), DeltaH=-329 kJ`
Which of the following will increase the quantity of `ClF_(3)` in an equilibrium mixture of `Cl_(2), F_(2)`, and `ClF_(3)`?

Options

A. increasing the temperature
B. removing `Cl_(2)`
C. increasing the volume of the container
D. adding `F_(2)`

Answer

D

Explanation

Adding `F_(2)` will shift the equilibrium in the forward direction and as such quantity of `CiF_(3)` in the equilibrium mixture will increase.
