1. The position of equilibrium would shift to the left, making more reactants.
Cl₂(g) + I₂(g) + heat ⇌ 2ICl(g)
Le Châtelier’s Principle states that, if you add a stress to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a direction that will remove the stress.
Here, the stress is the removal of Clâ‚‚. The system will respond by generating more Clâ‚‚ to replace what was removed.
The position of equilibriumwill move to the left.
