Indicate how the concentration of each species in the chemical equation will change to reestablish equilibrium after changing the concentration of the reactant or product. An up arrow indicates an increase in concentration, a down arrow indicates a decrease in concentration, and leaving it blank means there is no change in the concentration
C2H4(g)+Cl2------------>2C2H4Cl2(g)
<-----------
after the concentration of C2H4 is increased __________.
after the concentration of C2H4C12 is increased _________.

Explanation:

Since this is an equilibrium problem, we apply le chatelier principle. This principle states that whenever a system at equilibrium is disturbed due to change in several factors, it would move in a way to annul such change.

C2H4(g) + Cl2 ⇔ 2C2H4Cl2(g)

When the concentration of C2H4 is increased, there is more reactant sin the system. In order to annul this change, the equilibrium position will shift to the right favoring product formation.

When the concentration of C2H4Cl2 is increased, there is more product in the system. To annul this change, the equilibrium position will shift to the left, favoring reactant formation.
