When bismuth III Chloride is added to water, a reaction occurs and a white precipitate forms as shown below.
BiCI_3(aq) + H₂0_(l) BiOCl_(s) + 2HCl_(aq)

What would be the effect on the amount of the precipitate formed if sodium hydroxide solution is added to the equilibrium mixture ? Explain your answer.
