question 6

Multiple Choice

Consider the following equilibrium mixture in a closed system: H₂Og) + COg) ⇌ H₂g) + CO₂g) . Explain what would happen to the equilibrium upon the addition of carbon monoxide gas?

• A) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the left which would result in more reactants being produced until equilibrium is achieved.
• B) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would not disrupt the equilibrium, so nothing would happen.
• C) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the right which would result in more products being produced until equilibrium is achieved.
