Consider the equilibrium system COCl2 CO +Cl2 for which Kc at 390°C is 6.0x10^-3. The system at equilibrium contains 0.075M CO, 0.075M Cl2, and 0.925M COCl2. Predict the direction toward which the system will react upon addition of 0.20M CO, and removal of 0.50M Cl2. Compute the value of the reaction quotient (Q) for each of the condition and justify your answer whether the reaction proceed to the left or to the right.
