Question
For each equilibrium, determine whether the added stress will shift the equilibrium left, right, or if there will be no shift
A. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If N2 is added
B. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If NH3 (g) is added
C. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If a catalyst is added
D. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if Ca(NO3)2 (aq) is added
E. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if CaCO3 (s) is added
F. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if HCl (aq) is added
G. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if Na2CO3 (aq) is added
Explanation / Answer
A. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If N2 is added
the reaction tends towards forward direction
B. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If NH3 (g) is added
Reaction procedes towards reverse direction
C. 3 H2 (g) +N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g), If a catalyst is added
Rate of reaction changes on both sides but equillibrium doest affected
D. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if Ca(NO3)2 (aq) is added
reaction shifts toward right direction
E. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if CaCO3 (s) is added
Raction shifts to left direction
F. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if HCl (aq) is added
H+ reacts with CO32- and forcces CaCO3 to dissolve more i.e reverse direction is favoured
G. Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) = CaCO3 (s), if Na2CO3 (aq) is added
due to common ion solubility of CaCO3 decreases more CaCO3 ppt forms i.e forward direction
