For the reaction
`PCl_(5)(g) hArr PCl_(3)(g)+Cl__(2)(g)`
The forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by

Options

A. Introducing an inert gas at constant volume
B. Introducting chlorine gas at constant volume
C. Increasing the volume of the container
D. Introducing `PCl_(5)` at constant volume

Answer

C, D

Explanation

Introduction of an inert gas at constant pressure causes the equlibrium to shift in a direction in which number of moles increases. The forward reaction is furter accelerated by increase in the quantity of substrate, i.e., `PCl_(5)` and by the increase of space, i.e., volume of container.
