Question

Describe the effect addition of CH₃OH on the equilibrium of the reaction: 2H₂(g) + CO (g) ⇆ CH₃OH (g)

Answer 1

From the given equation, when the CH3OH is added, then the equillibrium state of the equation will be shifted into the backward direction.

This is attained according to the Le hateliers principle when the pressure is shifted on the chemical equation, the state of the equilibrium will be shifted based on the effect of the constraint.
