Q1
A reversible reaction occurs in a sealed container at constant temperature:
$\mathrm{PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)}$
A concentration-versus-time plot shows that at the displayed time (before equilibrium), $\mathrm{PCl_5}$ is increasing while both $\mathrm{PCl_3}$ and $\mathrm{Cl_2}$ are decreasing. In which direction will the net reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?
