Question
Consider the following system at equilibrium where ΔHº = -87.9 kJ, and Kc = 83.3, at 500 K:

\[ \text{PCl}_3 \, (g) + \text{Cl}_2 \, (g) \rightleftharpoons \text{PCl}_5 \, (g) \]

If the **TEMPERATURE** on the equilibrium system is suddenly increased:

1. The value of **Kc:**
   - A. Increases
   - B. Decreases
   - C. Remains the same

2. The value of **Qc:**
   - A. Is greater than **Kc**
   - B. Is equal to **Kc**
   - C. Is less than **Kc**

3. The reaction must:
   - A. Run in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium.
   - B. Run in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium.
   - C. Remain the same. Already at equilibrium.

4. The concentration of **Cl2** will:
   - A. Increase
   - B. Decrease
   - C. Remain the same

Feedback options include "Submit Answer," "Retry Entire Group," and a note indicating "8 more group attempts remaining."

Expert Solution
Introduction

The direction in which a reaction occurs, depends on several factors. The factors are temperature, moles of reactants and products, pressure, and volume. The direction of the reaction is determined by using the Le-chatlier’s principle.
