For each of the following changes at equilibrium, indicate whether the equilibrium shifts in the direction of products, reactants, or does not change: CaCO3(s)+heat⇌CaO(s)+CO2(g)
1) increasing the temperature
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the reactants |
does not change |
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the products |
2) decreasing the volume of the container
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the reactants | ||||||
shifts equilibrium in the direction of the products | ||||||
does not change 3) adding a catalyst
|
According to the le chatelier's principle reaction adjust itself to maintain the equilibrium
1. Endothermic reaction , so on increasing the temperature it will move forward and increase the concentration of products
2. Decrease the volume will shift equilibrium towards few moles of gas side here reactant side has no gas ... So it will shift towards reactant.
3. Adding a catalyst will not affect the equilibrium it will change only kinetics ( how fast reaction will reach the equilibrium )
4. It will also not change because it is present in solid state and it is not considered in equilibrium equation
