The correct option is
D the number of moles of undissociated
BaCl2 increases
BaCl2 dissociates to give one Ba2+ and two Cl− ions in water.
This can be written as BaCl2⇋Ba2++2Cl−
Now, when we add HCl in this solution, concentrated HCl will dissociate as H+ and Cl−, which in turn will increase the concentration of Cl− ions in the solution.
But according to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system at equilibrium is subject to any change in concentration, temperature, pressure or volume, the system readjusts itself to counteract the effect of the applied change and a new equilibrium is established.
So, since the concentration of Cl− ions is increased now, the system will try to decrease the concentration of Cl− ions, and hence the number of moles of undissociated BaCl2 ions will increase.
Option D is the correct answer.
