No. When water first begins to cool down, it contracts. However, as it gets colder and eventually freezes, it begins to expand.
You can test this by freezing water in a water bottle: when you take it out of the freezer, the cap might have popped off or cracks may have formed in the sides of the bottle.
Correct Answer: Option C:<span> The equilibrium position will shift to the right toward the products.
Reason: 1) This problem is based on </span>Le Chatelier's principle. It is stated as '<em>any</em><span><em> changes in the temperature, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order minimize this change and achieve a new equilibrium state.</em>'
2) In present case, the reaction involved is: </span><span> CH3CO2H(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ CH3CO2-(aq) + H3O+(l) </span>Hence, when the concentration of acetic acid (reactant) is increased, the equilibrium will shift to right to minimize the effect of change in concentration of reactant.
