Onsider the following reaction at equilibrium:
11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

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.

For the given equation:

C(s)+H_2O(l)\leftrightharpoons CO(g)+H_2(g)

A. C is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on increasing C ,equilibrium will shift in right direction.

B. H_2O is condensed and removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of reactant specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of reactant specie occurs. So, on removing water vapor ,the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

C. CO is added to the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on increasing CO, the equilibrium will shift in left direction.

D. H_2 is removed from the reaction mixture.

If the concentration of product specie is decreased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle , the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in concentration of product specie occurs. So, on removing hydrogen , the equilibrium will shift in right direction.

How to balance the equation Mg2+HO2=Cu3O+H2<br><br>​
Mariulka [41]
I think the answer is 2Mg + H2O4 = Cu12O4 + 2H

I’m really not sure though so it might be wrong… I’m not the best at balancing equations lol

Leni [432]

Answer:

0.65mmHg

Explanation:

Take R =8.314J/mol/K

V=200dm3

PV=nRT

P=0.025×8.314×623/200

=0.65mmHg
