Consider the following fictional reaction: 2AB(aq) = 2A(aq) + B2(aq) AH = -25 kcal/mol What happens to the quantity of B2 (increase, decrease, or no change) when: a. AB is added to the reaction. b. When A is removed from the reaction. c. When the temperature of the reaction is decreased. d. When water is added to the reaction reaction mixture thus diluting it.

### Chemical Equilibrium and Le Chatelier's Principle

#### Consider the following fictional reaction:
\[2AB(\text{aq}) \leftrightarrow 2A(\text{aq}) + B_2(\text{aq}) \quad \Delta H = -25 \text{ kcal/mol}\]

#### What happens to the quantity of \(B_2\) (increase, decrease, or no change) when:
a. **AB is added to the reaction.**

b. **When A is removed from the reaction.**

c. **When the temperature of the reaction is decreased.**

d. **When water is added to the reaction mixture thus diluting it.**

In exploring these questions, you will apply Le Chatelier's Principle to predict the changes in the quantity of \(B_2\) under different conditions.
