Answer to Problem 1RQ
Answer
The presence of a common ion shifts the equilibrium position.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The shift in the equilibrium state that happens due to the addition of an ion that is already present in the equilibrium reaction is stated as the presence of a common ion.

Answer to Problem 1RQ
Answer
The presence of a common ion shifts the equilibrium of the given reaction towards left.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The given reaction is,
The presence of a common ion in the given reaction will reduce the solubility of the given acid shifting the equilibrium towards the left. The dissociation of the given acid will be suppressed.
