Question
Consider the equilibrium:
Predict what will occur when the equilibrium is upset by adding SO2(g)
Select one:
A. Reaction will occur in the forward direction (to the right).
B. No net change will occur, either in the forward or reverse direction.
C. Reaction will occur in the reverse direction (to the left).
Consider the equilibrium: Predict what will occur when the equilibrium is upset by adding SO2(g) Select one: A. Reaction will occur in the forward direction (to the right). B. No net change will occur, either in the forward or reverse direction. C. Reaction will occur in the reverse direction (to the left).Explanation / Answer
The reaction is not displayed here, however SO2 can only be either a reactant or a product!
If SO2 is in a reactant, then adding SO2, leads the reaction to occur in the forward direction
If SO2 is a product, then adding SO2 leads the reaction to occur in the reverse direction.
