Question

Consider the reaction below to be at equilibrium:
4 Ag) + 3 B(a q)
- 5 Cg) + 2 D(e) + heat
In which direction will the reaction shift if more B is added?
O It will not shift
It will shift toward the products.
O It will shift toward the reactants.

Expert Solution

Step 1

For any system in equilibrium, upon a constraint experienced due to a change in pressure, concentration or in temperature, the equilibrium tends to shift such that the constraint is counteracted.

Step 2

In the reaction considered, upon increasing the concentration of a reactant (B), the equilibrium will favor only the forward reaction and the backward reaction resulting in production of more B will not be favored.
