Solution
The correct option is C Removing the Cl2 as it is formed
The constituents in solid phase don’t contribute anything to the system at equilibrium.
So, the option a and b are discarded. when we remove the Cl2 , the concentration of it, i.e. product decreases.
According to Le- Chatilier’s principle decreasing the the product concentration will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, the total amount of Cl2 increases.
By decreasing the volume the no. of molecules per unit volume increases. Then the equilibrium shifts towards the direction where number of molecules are less, i.e. towards left. So, it will decrease the amount of Cl2. This option D is also not correct.
So, the correct option is C.
