Question

For the following equilibrium reaction, predict the direction of the equilibrium shift by specifying if each stress will cause the concentration of reactants or products to increase

NH3(g)+H2O(l) NH4+(aq)+OH(aq)

Drag the appropriate stresses to their respective bins.

Adding NH4+(aq)     Adding NH3(g)    Adding OH-(aq)      Removing NH4+(aq)      Removing OH-(aq)

Shifts in the direction of the reactants:

Shift in the direction of the products:

Shifts in the direction of the reactants:

Shift in the direction of the products:

Explanation / Answer

Shift in the direction of the products:

explanation :

1) to the equilibrium if reactants are added reaction shift to the forward

2) to the equilibrium if products are added reaction shift to the backward

3) removal of reactants shift to backward

4) removal of products shifts to forward

Shifts in the direction of the reactants

Shift in the direction of the products:

Adding NH4+(aq) Adding NH3(g) Adding OH-(aq) Removing NH4+(aq) Removing OH-(aq)
