Title: Le Chatelier's Principle, Temperature, Endothermic Reaction...
Post by: mizzle on October 16, 2009, 09:58:55 PM

I have a simple question, and I think I've got the answer, but I do not have anything to reference it from.

"What will happen to the temperature of this system at equilibrium if SO2 is added?"

Energy + SO2Cl2 (g) ---> SO2 (g) + Cl2 (g)


My idea: When SO2 is added, it shifts the reaction to the left, increasing the energy and thus, the temperature
of the system. Is this correct?

Thank you!

Yeah, your reasoning sounds fine.

Can I get anyone to agree with UG? (not that I'm disagreeing at all lol... I just want to be certain I am correct :D )

Thanks !
