Chapter 5, Problem 5J.1E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of partial pressure of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ when ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ partial pressure is increased has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Le Chatelier's principle:

When a change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift against the change. The equilibrium of a system will be affected by the change in temperature, pressure, and concentration.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of partial pressure of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ when $\text{CO}$ partial pressure is decreased has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Refer part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of concentration of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ when $\text{CO}$ concentration is increased has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Refer part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The response of equilibrium constant when ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ concentration is decreased has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:
