Question

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

Answer 1

2H2(g) + CO (g)  -- CH3OH(g) is the chemical reaction which is given, and here when CH3OH is removed, the equilibrium state will be shifted into the forward direction.

According to the Le Chateliers 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.
