Question:medium

The reaction, \( \text{SO}_2 + \text{Cl}_2 \to \text{SO}_2 \text{Cl}_2 \), is exothermic and reversible. A mixture of \( \text{SO}_2 \), \( \text{Cl}_2 \), and \( \text{SO}_2 \text{Cl}_2 \) is at equilibrium in a closed container. Now a certain quantity of extra \( \text{SO}_2 \) is introduced into the container, the volume remaining the same. Which of the following is/are true?

Show Hint

For exothermic reactions, increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium towards the products, and heat is released.
