Suppose the endothermic reaction below has reached equilibrium:

SO₂Cl₂(g) ⇌ SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g).

What type of disturbance will ultimately cause a decrease in [SO₂Cl₂]?

• Increase temperature

• Decrease temperature

• Increase pressure

• Increase Cl₂

Suppose K_P = 2.39 at a given temperature for the reaction

SO₂Cl₂ ⇌ SO₂ + Cl₂. 

What is K_P for the reverse reaction at the same temperature as written below?

SO₂ + Cl₂ ⇌ SO₂Cl₂
