Phosphorus pentachloride gas decomposes reversibly. The forward reaction is endothermic.
PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)\text{PCl}_5(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{PCl}_3(\text{g}) + \text{Cl}_2(\text{g})PCl5(g)⇌PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)
Explain the effect of decreasing the temperature on the equilibrium yield of chlorine.
