Question

e. All statements are true 8) For problem 11, if the volume of the container is decreased to 2.5 L with no temperature change, th statement below that best describes the change in equilibrium conditions is: SbCl s (g) 3 (g) 2 (2) a. The reaction shifts left and the equilibrium constant does not change. b. The reaction shifts left and the equilibrium constant will decrease c. The reaction shifts right and the equilibrium constant does not change. The reaction shifts right and the equilibrium constant will increase. e The reaction does not shift left or right and the equilibrium constant does not change. tion of hour a catalyst makes a reaction proceed at a faster rate is

Explanation / Answer

Ans 8 : b) The reaction shifts left and the equillibrium constant will decrease.

SInce the volume has decreased , the pressure of the reaction mixture will increase , as pressure is inversely related to volume , according to the ideal gas law.

So now the increase in pressure will cause the equillibrium to shift in the direction , where the pressure is low ( that is towards the reactants side) , so the equillibrium constant will also decrease.
