The system will try to consume some of the excess chlorine gas by producing more of the product, C_2H_4Cl_2 (1,2-dichloroethane). Consequently, this will lead to an increase in the concentration of C_2H_4Cl_2 and a slight decrease in the concentration of C_4H_4 (butadiene) as it is consumed in the reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The concentration of <strong>Cl_2<\/strong> decreases as it is used up in the reaction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The concentration of <strong>C_4H_4<\/strong> decreases as it reacts to form more <strong>C_2H_4Cl_2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The concentration of <strong>C_2H_4Cl_2<\/strong> increases as it is produced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
