Question
Sodium bicarbonate undergoes thermal decomposition according to the reaction below.
How does the equilibrium position shift as a result of each of the following disturbances?
(a) 0.20 atm argon gas is added.
(b) NaHCO3(s) is added.
(c) Mg(ClO4)2(s) is added as a drying agent to remove H2O.
