Question

Predict the direction that equilibrium will shift for eachchange in the components of the following reaction C(s) + H2O + heat <-------> CO(g) +H2(g)                          ( Reversiblearrow) a. Adding heat b. Adding CO(g)    c. Removing H2 d. Adding H2O Predict the direction that equilibrium will shift for eachchange in the components of the following reaction C(s) + H2O + heat <-------> CO(g) +H2(g)                          ( Reversiblearrow) a. Adding heat b. Adding CO(g)    c. Removing H2 d. Adding H2O d. Adding H2O

Explanation / Answer

a) The above reaction is an endothermic reaction. When heat isaddded to such a reaction equilibrium shifts in such a directionthat will compensate the change,that is equilibrium shiftedin the right hand side. b) When more CO(g) is added equilibrium shifts to left. c) On removing  H2 more productwill be formed. So the equilibrium turns to right. d) When more amount of water is addded equilibrium shifts toright.
