### Equilibrium of Phosphorus Pentachloride Decomposition**Chemical Reaction:**The decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride (\( \text{PCl}_5 \)) into phosphorus trichloride (\( \text{PCl}_3 \)) and chlorine gas (\( \text{Cl}_2 \)) occurs at high temperatures and is represented by the following chemical equation:\[ \text{PCl}_5(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{PCl}_3(g) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \]**Equilibrium Mixture:**At a specific temperature within a 1.00-L flask, the equilibrium mixture consists of:- 5.72 g of \( \text{PCl}_5 \)- 4.86 g of \( \text{PCl}_3 \)- 3.59 g of \( \text{Cl}_2 \)**Question:**If you add 1.31 g of \( \text{Cl}_2 \), how will the equilibrium be affected?- Shift left- Shift right- No shift will occur*Note:* The addition of chlorine gas (\( \text{Cl}_2 \)) is expected to shift the equilibrium position according to Le Chatelier's Principle. Consider how the system will adjust to the disturbance.

H2(g) + Consider the following equilibrium mixture in a closed system: H2O(g) + CO(g) CO2(g). Explain what would happen to the equilibrium upon the addition of hydrogen gas? ○ The addition of hydrogen gas would not disrupt the equilibrium, so nothing would happen The addition of hydrogen gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the right which would result in more CO2 being produced until equilibrium is achieve ○ The addition of hydrogen gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the left which would result in more reactants being produced until equilibrium is achieved
