Answer

(a) $COCl_2$ being a product, the reaction shifts to the left. (b) $Cl_{2}$ being a reactant, the reaction shifts to the right. (c) $COCl_{2}$ being a product, the reaction shifts to the right.

Work Step by Step

(a) According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a product is added to a reaction the equilibrium shifts to the left side (reactants) to lower the amount/concentration of product. (b) According Le Chatelier's Principle, when a reactant is added to a reaction mixture the equilibrium shifts to the right side (product) to lower the amount/concentration of reactant. (c) According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a product is removed from a reaction mixture then the equilibrium shifts to right side (product) to increase the amount/concentrations of product.
