Homework 5J.1c

[Eileen Si 1G]

In the equation, CO(g) + H2O(g) = CO2(g) + H2(g), if the concentration of CO is increased, would the concentration of H2 also increase? Or would it remain the same and not change?

[Daniel Honeychurch1C]

The concentration of H2 would increase according to Le Chatelier's principle.

[Vicki Liu 2L]

The reasoning behind the increase in H2 is that the reaction will shift to the right in order to return the amount of CO to its equilibrium concentration.

[Maya Pakulski 1D]

If you add something to either the products or reactant side the reaction will shift to the opposite side and if you take a product or reactant away the reaction shifts to the side you took it from. In this case it would shift to the right, as you took away a reactant, and the amount of H2 would increase.
