Determine what will happen if more bicl3 is added to the following reaction bicl3 (aq) + h 2 o (l) ⇌ biocl (s) + 2hcl (aq)

-

Forward reaction favored

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

BiCl3 (aq) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ BiOCl (s) + 2HCl (aq)

Here BiCl3 is a reactant.

The reaction is in equilibrium. So to find the change when Bicl3 is added to the reaction at equilibrium, we use Le Chatlier Principle.

It states that if to a reaction at equilibrium, a reactant is added, then the forward reaction is favored and more of the product is formed so that the system remains at equilibrium.

So if BiCl3 is added, the forward reaction is favored and more of the products BiOCl (s) and HCl (aq) are formed

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm
