State lowering the reaction temperature

Reference no: EM13163910

Consider the following exothermic reaction: C2H4 (g) + Cl2 (g) <-------> C2H4Cl2 (g) If you were a chemist trying to maximize the amount of C2H4Cl2 produced, which of the following might you try? Assume that the reaction mixture reaches equilibrium. a. increasing the reaction volume (Will maximize C2H4Cl2 or Will not maximize C2H4Cl2.) b. removing from the reaction mixture as it forms (Will maximize C2H4Cl2 or Will not maximize C2H4Cl2.) c. lowering the reaction temperature (Will maximize C2H4Cl2 or Will not maximize C2H4Cl2.) d. adding Cl2 (Will maximize C2H4Cl2 or Will not maximize C2H4Cl2.)
