Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What will happen if O_2 is added

Question

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What will happen if O_2 is added to the reaction? 4 FeS_2(s) + 11 O_2(g) 2 Fe_2O_3(s) + 8 SO_2(g) A) The equilibrium will change in the direction of the reactants. B) The equilibrium will change in the direction of the products. C) No change in equilibrium is observed. D) The equilibrium constant will decrease. Define dynamic equilibrium. A) no products are formed B) the rate of the reverse reaction is faster than the rate of the forward reaction C) the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction D) no reactants react

Explanation / Answer

5) option B is correct

Explanation: if O2 is added to the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction of products in order to decrease the increased concentration of O2.

6) option C is correct

Explanation: The rate of forward reaction and rate of reverse reaction are same. It is called dynamic equilibrium. The ratio of products to reactants remains same.
