### Acid-Base Reaction Analysis

#### Consider the following acid-base reaction:

\[ \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{HCO}_3^- + \text{H}^+ \]

---

**Instructions:**

For each of the stresses indicated in the table below, use Le Chatelier's principle to predict if the reaction will shift *towards reactants* or *towards products* to re-establish equilibrium.

| Stress        | Shift  |
|---------------|--------|
| a) Add HCO₃⁻  |        |
| b) Remove H⁺  |        |
| c) Add H₂O    |        |
| d) Remove CO₂ |        |

**Explanation of Le Chatelier's Principle:**

Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change and re-establish equilibrium. Use this principle to analyze the shifts in reaction equilibrium based on the stresses applied.
