Answer not given. Please show solutions and reasoning for why.
Suppose the following exothermic reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium. A(g) + 3B(g) 2C(g) + 3D(g) Then we make each of the following changes and allow the reaction to reestablish equilibrium. For each change, tell whether the value of the equilibrium constant will be (i) greater than, (ii) less than, or (iii) the same as before the change was imposed. The temperature is increased while the volume is kept constant; more A is added; more C is added; a small amount of D is removed; the pressure is decreased by increasing the volume.Explanation / Answer
Shift to right increase constant. Shift to left decreases constant. a. Increasing temperature in an exothermic reaction will cause the eq. constant to decrease or be less than. b. Adding more A will increase the constant. c. Adding C will decrease the constant. d. Removing D will increase the constant. e. Decrease in pressure will shift to side with more moles of gas, which is right side so constant will increase.
