Question

3. Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. + C(s) + H2O (g) + Heat CO (g) +H, (g) a. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (1 point) 2 b. In which direction (right or left) will the equilibrium shift if the following stresses are applied to the reaction at equilibrium? (4 points) i. Remove heat ii. Add CO (g) iii. Remove H20 (g) iv. Add H2 (g)

Answer 1

Note:According to Le Chatelier priciple, of a stress is applied then the equilibrium will shift in that direction where this stress will remove. And following that the answers are given according to the stress aplied in the reaction and the shifting of equilibrium also discussed.

solution: 3. lol as heat is 7 C(s) + H20(g) + heat a cocq) + H2. ) required that means reaction is endothermic. (b) . if heat is removed, then the requilibri brium will shift in that direction where heat is evolved. That means, equilibrium will shist towards left (s) if colg) is added, then equil ilibrium will shift in that direction where colg) is consumed. That means it will shift towards teft. if H₂O(g) is removed, then the equilibrium will shift in that direction where H₂O is formed that means towards left (10) it will shift. { if H₂(g) is added, then equite brium will shift in that direction where H₂(g) is consumed that means toward left equilibrium will shift.
