Question

What Le Chatelier’s factors cause an increase in the concentration of Hb(CO)4(aq) in the Hb(CO)4(aq) + 4O2(g)Hb(O2)4(aq) + 4CO(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hb(CO)4(aq) + 4O2(g)  ⇄  Hb(O2)4(aq) + 4CO(g)

1 )  If we increase the concentration of CO(g) , the reaction above will proceed in reverse direction to decrease its concentration,  according to Le Chatelier principle. Hence more of Hb(CO)4(aq) will be formed.

2 )  If we decrease the concentration of O₂ , then also , reaction will proceed in reverse direction . Hence concentration of Hb(CO)4(aq) will be increased .
