Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium - Result Question 23

####23. For the reaction,

$$ CO(g)+H _2 O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO _2(g)+H _2(g), $$

at a given temperature, the equilibrium amount of $CO _2(g)$ can be increased by

(1998)

(a) adding a suitable catalyst

(b) adding an inert gas

(c) decreasing the volume of the container

(d) increasing the amount of $CO(g)$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Adding reactant will drive the reaction in forward direction in order to restore equilibrium. Therefore, addition of $CO(g)$ will increase the equilibrium amount of $CO _2$
