16. Chemical Equilibrium Le Chatelier's Principle
3PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider the following equilibrium reaction: 2 NOBr(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + 2 BrCl(g), ΔH° = +47.4 kJ.
(a) How will the concentration of NO change when the temperature of the system is lowered?
(b) How will the equilibrium constant (Kc) change when the temperature of the system is increased?
Explain your answer using Le Chatelier's principle.
