.Consider the reaction: 2 A (g) + B (s) ⇌ 2 C (s) + D (g) To increase the partial pressure of D at equilibrium, you could A) add B. B) remove C. C) add A. D) add Ar (g). 2. Consider the following reaction: 2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2 SO₃(g). If you decrease the volume of the reaction chamber, you would observe A) an increase in SO₂. B) an increase in O₂. C) an increase in SO₃. D) both (A) and (B). E) none of the above. 3. Which of the following changes would cause the reaction below to shift in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium? 2 NBr₃ (g) ⇌ N₂ (g) + 3 Br₂ (g) A) adding a catalyst. B) adding Ar (g). C) increasing the total volume of the container. D) adding N₂.
Equilibrium reactions are governed by Le Chatelier principle, which states that - A system at equilibrium counteracts any changes that disturb the equilibrium.
If we are increasing the concentration/partial pressure of the reactants, the system in order to decrease it shifts the reaction to the forward direction. Similarly, if we increase the concentration/partial pressure of the products, the system in order to decrease it and regain the equilibrium shifts the reaction in the backward direction.
If you increase the volume, the reaction shifts to the side which contains higher number of gaseous molecules.
If you decrease the volume the reaction shifts to the side which contains lower number of gaseous molecules.
