Gas $X\mathbf{X}$ is an intense, deep violet gas. Gas $Y\mathbf{Y}$ is a completely colourless gas.

The two gases exist in dynamic equilibrium inside a sealed glass ampoule:

\text{Gas X} \rightleftharpoons \text{Gas Y}

At room temperature, the equilibrium mixture inside the ampoule is a pale lavender colour.

You are provided with:

the sealed glass ampoule containing the equilibrium mixture of Gas $X\mathbf{X}$ and Gas $Y\mathbf{Y}$
two insulated beakers
a vacuum flask containing boiling water
a thermos of crushed ice

Devise an experimental procedure to demonstrate how the position of equilibrium of this reaction is affected by temperature.

The sealed ampoule must not be opened.
