Consider the following reaction What will happen to the conc

Consider the following reaction. What will happen to the concentrations of each reactant and product under the following conditions: a. A catalyst is added. b. Carbon monoxide is added to the system. c. Carbon dioxide is removed from the system. d. The system is cooled down in an ice bath.

Solution

    heat + H2 (g) + CO2(g) <---------------> H2O(g) + CO(g)

a. A catalyst is added

catalyst is increases the rate of forward reaction and rate of back ward reaction.The conce of reactants and conc of products are increases.

b. carbon monoxide added to the system

When carbon monoxide is added to the system the equilibrium shift to the left side. So conc of reactants are increases.

c. carbon dioxide is removed from the system

When carbon dioxide is removed from the system the equilibrium left side. So conc of reactants are increases.

d. The system is cooled down in an ice bath

forward reaction is enodthermic reaction. It is takes place at high temperature.

back ward reaction is exothermic reaction . It is takes place at low temperature.

The system is cooled down in an ice bath the equilibrium shift to left side. So conc of reactants are increases.
