Question

State whether the equilibrium position of the following endothermic reaction will shift left, right, or have no effect.                      C(s)+H2O(g)<---->CO(g)+H2(g)

1. Some amount of H2O gas is added to the system. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

2. Some amount of solid carbon is added to the system. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

3. Some amount of gaseous carbon monoxide is removed from the system. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

4. A catalyst is added to the reaction. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

5. Neon gas is added to the reaction. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

6. Neon gas is added at a constant volume and temperature. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

7. The temperature ath which the reaction is carried out is decreased. Shift left, shift right, or no effect?

Explanation / Answer

1. Shift right

2. No shift - solids don't affect concentrations

3. Shift right

4. No effect - but it will make the reactions quicker

5. Shift left - shifts to the side with less gas particles to decrease the pressure

6. No shift - the overall pressure won't have changed

7. C(s)+H2O(g) + E <---->CO(g)+H2(g)... decreasing the temperature will shift left.
