A sample of SO2Cl2 is introduced into a movable piston with the pressure maintained at 1.00 atm and Equilibrium Chemistry Question

Question

A sample of SO2Cl2 is introduced into a movable piston with the pressure maintained at 1.00 atm and the temperature at 450 K. The volume increases as the sulfuryl chloride equilibrates according to the following endothermic reaction:
SO2Cl2(g) ⇌ SO2(g) + Cl2(g) ∆H° > 0
Which changes would decrease the number of moles of SO2Cl2(g) present in the piston at equilibrium? In each case, the pressure is maintained at 1.00 atm.
I. The temperature of the system is increased to 500 K.
II. A sample of Ar(g) is injected into the piston.

A.

I only

B.

II only

C.

Both I and II

✓ Correct
D.

Neither I nor II
