Question

Part A

Consider the following system at equilibrium:

P(aq)+Q(aq)?3R(aq)

Classify each of the following actions by whether it causes a leftward shift, a rightward shift, or no shift in the direction of the net reaction.

Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins: (Leftward shift, Rightward Shift, No Shift).

Items:

1) Increase [P]

2) Increase [Q]

3) Increase [R]

4) Decrease [P]

5) Decrease [Q]

6) Decrease [R]

7) Triple [P] and reduce [Q] to one third

8) Triple both [Q] and [R]

Answer 1

1) Increase [P]
We are increasing concentration of reactant
So it will shift right
2) Increase [Q]
We are increasing concentration of reactant
So it will shift right
3) Increase [R]
We are increasing concentration of product
So it will shift left
4) Decrease [P]
We are decreasing concentration of reactant
So it will shift left
5) Decrease [Q]
We are decreasing concentration of reactant
So it will shift left
6) Decrease [R]
We are decreasing concentration of product
So it will shift right
