Bromine dichloride, BrCl2, decomposes to form bromine and chlorine at equilibrium according to the following equation:

2BrCl2 (g) + heat ⇌ Br2 (g) + 2Cl2 (g)

For the following change, how would the reaction shift (toward the products, reactants, or no change) ?

The temperature is increased?

Heat is a reactant in this equilibrium and increasing temperature is another way to say adding heat. So, how does the reaction shift when you add a reactant?
