Question

Given the equilibrium reaction, H20(g) + CH.(g) CO (g) + 3H2(g)

Using Le-Chatelier's principle, predict how concentration of CO will change when the equilibrium is disturbed by :

a) adding CH
b) adding H2
c) removing H20
d) removing H2​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) by adding CH the amount of CO will increase as due to increase n conc of CH on the reactant side the reaction moves in forward direction in order to attain equilibrium

b)due to increase in conc of H2 the product side the reaction will move back wards

c)by decreasing the conc of h2o on the reactant side the reaction moves back wards to attain equilibrium

d)if we remove H2 from the product side the reaction will move forward in order to reach equilibrium
