Answer to Question #57955 in Inorganic Chemistry for XM

Question

Consider the following reaction:
C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2 (g)

If H = 131.4 kJ/mol, predict the direction of shift in equilibrium and the yield
of H2 using Le Chatelier’s Principle if:
(i) Pressures of gases are increased
(ii) Temperature is decreased
(iii) Concentration of C (s) is increased
(iv) Volume of reaction vessel is doubled.
(v) Determine the expression of Kc for this reaction.
