Question:

The Deacon process for producing chlorine gas from hydrogen chloride is used in situations where HCl is available as a by-product from other chemical processes.

4 HCl(g) + O(g) 2 HO(g) + 2Cl(g) A,H -114 kJ mol 1-1

A mixture of HCl, O2, H2O, and Cl2 is brought to equilibrium at 400 °C. What is the effect on the equilibrium amount of Cl2(g) if 

(a) Additional O2(g) is added to the mixture at constant volume?

(b) HCl(g) is removed from the mixture at constant volume?

(c) The mixture is transferred to a vessel of twice the volume?

(d) A catalyst is added to the reaction mixture?

(e) The temperature is raised to 500 °C?
