C.

4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) ⇆ 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) + heat



Stress applied: Increasing the volume of the container

1. What is the Keq expression? __________________________

2. What will be the effect in the amount of H2O? ____________________

3. What will be the Equilibrium Shift or the reaction?​


Sagot :

1. [tex]K= \frac{[NO]^4[H_2O]^6}{[NH_3]^4[O_2]^5}[/tex]

Explanation:

Since we increased the volume of the container, the equilibrium will shift to the direction that produces more moles of gas. In the given equation, there are more moles in products (10) compared to the moles in the reactants (9) therefore (3) the equilibrium will shift from right to left favoring the formation of reactants and balance the equilibrium.

To produce more reactants, the reaction will consume the products to form more reactants and thus (2) the amount of  will decrease.
