Consider the equilibrium
2NaHSO3(s)
Na₂SO3(s) + H₂O(g) + SO₂(g)
How will the position of equilibrium be affected by the following changes?
(a) Adding NaHSO3 to the reaction vessel
(b) Removing Na₂SO3 from the reaction vessel (it is not completely removed)
(c) Adding H₂O to the reaction vessel
(d) Increasing the volume of the reaction vessel
Equilibrim will shift to the left.
Equilibrim will shift to the right.
Equilibrim is unaffected.
