Chapter 17, Problem 53A

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

The change in concentration of reactants needs to be explained when the equilibrium shifts to the right.

Interpretation:

Concept introduction:

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, when concentration of the reactants and products are changed then equilibrium position is also changes. As lowering the temperature the equilibrium is also shifts towards the right side or product side and more products are formed.

Answer to Problem 53A

When the equilibrium shifts to right, the concentration of reactants is decreased or product concentration is increased.

Explanation of Solution

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, when concentration of the reactants and products are changed then equilibrium position is also changes. As lowering the temperature the equilibrium is also shifts towards the right side or product side and more products are formed. As temperature is increases then the equilibrium position of a chemical reaction is disturbed. Hence to attain the equilibrium, it shifts to right side. So, concentration of product is increased.

Answer to Problem 53A

When the equilibrium shifts to right, the concentration of product is increased..

Explanation of Solution

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, when concentration of the reactants and products are changed then equilibrium position is also changes. As lowering the temperature, the equilibrium is also shifts towards the right side or product side and rate of forward reaction is increases. So, more products was formed and the concentration of reactants Is decreases.
