Question

The following is exothermic 2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) = 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g) Predict if reaction will shift left, right, or remain unchanged upon each disturbance: A. Removing H2O from the mixture B. Raising the temperature of the mixture C. Decreasing the volume of the container D. Adding a catalyst to the mixture The following is exothermic 2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) = 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g) Predict if reaction will shift left, right, or remain unchanged upon each disturbance: A.

Explanation / Answer

A. Removing H2O from the mixture means, removing product it increases the forward reaction

Reaction will shift left

B. Raising the temperature of the mixture. It is a exthermic reactrion, for exthermicreaction increase temperature favours backward reaction. Reaction will shift right

C. Decreasing the volume of the container favour less number of moles side. . Left side we have less number of moles. Reaction will shift left

D. Adding a catalyst to the mixture .

Adding catalyst increases the rate of both forward and backward reaction

Net change is zero. remain unchanged
