Given the decomposition for ammoinium carbamate:
2NH2CO2NH2(s) <-----> 2NH3(g)+CO2(g)
Determine the effect on equilibrium for the addition of the
following;
a. SnCl2
b. NH3
c. NaOH
Increase the concentration of one or more of the reactants causes the reaction to shift to the right.
Increase the concentration of one more of the products causes the reaction to shift to the left.
a. SnCl2: It is neither reactant nor product. So, the addition of SnCl2 does not affect the equilibrium.
b. NH3 : It the product. So, the addition of NH3 shift the equilibrium left.
c. NaOH: It is neither reactant nor product. So, the addition of NaOH does not affect the equilibrium.
