Answer to Question #268046 in Chemistry for jena

Question

Direction:Predict the shift in the equilibrium (direction: forward or reverse) of the reaction based on the application of stress.

Consider the reaction:4NH3(g)+ 5O2(g) à4NO(g)+ 6H2O(g)+ heat

A.Increasing NO concentration

B.Removing H2O

C.Increasing temperature

D.Increasing the volume of the container

E.Decreasing the pressure

Answer 1

4NH_3(g)+ 5O_2(g) = 4NO_(g) + 6H₂O_(g) + heat

A. Increasing NO concentration - will shift the equilibrium to the left and accelerate the backward reaction

B. Removing H₂O - will shift the equilibrium to the right and accelerate the forward reaction

C. Increasing temperature - will shift the equilibrium to the left and accelerate the backward reaction

D. Increasing the volume of the container - will shift the equilibrium to the right and accelerate the backward reaction

E. Decreasing the pressure - will shift the equilibrium to the right and accelerate the backward reaction
