Answer:
a) The equilibrium will shift in the right direction.
b) The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :
Explanation:
a) Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.
This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
On increase in amount of reactant
If the reactant is increased, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where more product formation is taking place. As the number of moles of is increasing .So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction.
b)
Concentration of = 0.195 M
Concentration of =
Concentration of =
On adding more to 0.370 M at equilibrium :
Initially
0.370 M
At equilibrium:
(0.370-x)M
The equilibrium constant of the reaction =
The equilibrium expression is given as:
On solving for x:
x = 0.0233 M
The new equilibrium concentrations after reestablishment of the equilibrium :
