Answer to Question #266702 in General Chemistry for simboss

Question

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium:

 2 NOBr(g) + heat <- -> 2 NO(g) + Br₂(g)

If the reaction mixture is moved to a larger vessel, the equilibrium will

Answer 1

By increasing the volume of vessel, the pressure decreases.

Therefore the system will occupy a bigger volume than it did before the decrease in pressure.

Therefore the equilibrium will shift to the right
