Equilibrium Question 810

Question: If the reaction between $ CO_2 $ and $ H_2O $ is $ CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2CO_3\rightarrow {H^{+}}+HCO_3^{-} $ If $ CO_2 $ escapes from the system

Options:

A) pH will decrease

B) $ {H^{+}} $ concentration will decrease

C) $ H_2CO_3 $ concentration will be altered

D) The forward reaction is promoted

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2CO_3\rightarrow {H^{+}}+HCO_3^{-} $ If $ CO_2 $ escapes, the equilibrium will shift to LHS and $ [ {H^{+}} ] $ concentration will decrease
