Question

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

Answer 1

Here the given chemical reaction is 2H2(g) + CO (g)  -- CH3OH(g).

From this when the CO is removed, the equilibrium state will be shifted into the backward direction.

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.
