Solved: This reaction is exothermic. If you were a chemist trying to maximize the amount
Chapter 15, Problem 95P(choose chapter or problem)
This reaction is exothermic.
\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)\)
If you were a chemist trying to maximize the amount of \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) produced, which of the following might you try?
Assume that the reaction mixture reaches equilibrium.
(a) increasing the reaction volume
(b) removing \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) from the reaction mixture as it forms
(c) lowering the reaction temperature
(d) adding \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
