The exothermic formation of ClF₃ is represented by the equation:
Cl₂ (g) + 3F₂ (g)

⇋

2ClF₃ (g);

Δ H

= -329 kJ
Which of the following will increase the quantity of ClF₃ in an equilibrium mixture of Cl₂, F₂ and ClF₃?

Accepted Answer

The reaction given is an exothermic reaction thus accordingly to Lechatalier's principle lowering of temperature, addition of

F_{2}

and or

C l_{2}

favour the for ward direction and hence the production of

C l F_{3} .
