The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the equilibrium shift when the concentration of \( F_2 \) is increased, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Equilibrium Reaction The equilibrium reaction given is: \[ Cl_2(g) + F_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2ClF(g) \] ### Step 2: Identify the Change in Concentration The question states that the concentration of \( F_2 \) is increased. This means that the amount of one of the reactants is being raised. ### Step 3: Apply Le Chatelier's Principle Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, pressure, or temperature, the equilibrium will shift in a direction that counteracts the change. In this case, since we are increasing the concentration of \( F_2 \): - The system will respond by shifting the equilibrium to the right (towards the products) to consume some of the added \( F_2 \). ### Step 4: Conclusion Therefore, when the concentration of \( F_2 \) is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the formation of \( ClF \). ### Final Answer The equilibrium will shift to the right (towards the formation of \( ClF \)) when the concentration of \( F_2 \) is increased. ---
