Question

1. Consider this reaction at equilibrium:

2 BrNO (g) <---> 2 NO (g) + Br2 (g)

Predict whether the reaction shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged after each disturbance. Explain in terms of reaction rates and collisions.

a. NO is added to the reaction mixture

b. BrNO is added to the reaction mixture

c. Br2 is removed from the reaction mixture

Consider this reaction at equilibrium:

C (s) + H2O (g) <---> CO (g) + H2 (g)

Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remained unchange after each disturbance. Explain.

a. C is added to the reaction mixture

b. H2O is condendsed and removed from the reaction mixture.

c. CO is added to the reaction mixture

d. H2 is removed from the reaction mixture

Explanation / Answer

addition of reactants shifts equilibrium to right.

addition of products shifts equilibrium to left.

removal of reactants shifts equilibrium to left.

removal of products shifts equilibrium to right.

Therefore,

1) 2 BrNO (g) <---> 2 NO (g) + Br2 (g)

a) left

b) right

c) right

2) C (s) + H2O (g) <---> CO (g) + H2 (g)

a) right

b) left

c) left

d) right
