n the overall reaction from the previous problem: 2 CO (g) + 6 H2 (g) D 2 CH4 (g) + 2 H2O (g) Using Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which direction the reaction will shift to reestablish equilibrium for each of the following changes: Carbon monoxide is increased. Methane is decreased. The reaction is placed in a dehydration chamber (which siphons off water). If the pressure in the reaction container is doubled.
Given the overall reaction from the previous problem:
2 CO (g) + 6 H2 (g) D 2 CH4 (g) + 2 H2O (g)
Using Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which direction the reaction will shift to reestablish equilibrium for each of the following changes:
- Carbon monoxide is increased.
- Methane is decreased.
- The reaction is placed in a dehydration chamber (which siphons off water).
- If the pressure in the reaction container is doubled.
Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will answer the first three sub-parts for you. If you want residual sub-parts to be answered, then please resubmit the entire question and mention those sub-parts you want us to answer.
When a reaction moves both in forwarding and backward directions, such a reaction is called a reversible reaction. In this reaction, a stage comes when the ratio of the rate of forwarding reaction and rate of backward direction becomes constant; this stage is called the equilibrium stage. The constant ratio at this stage is called equilibrium constant. For this reaction, it is shown as-
