Assume that the following endothermic chemical reaction is at equilibrium.
C(s) + H2O(g) H2(g) + CO(g)
Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?
1/ Increasing the concentration of H2(g) will cause the reaction to proceed in the
backward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O(g).
2/ Decreasing the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward
direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).
3/ Increasing the amount of C(s) will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward
direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).
A.1 only
B.2 only
C.3 only
D.1 and 2
E.1, 2, and 3
Consider the following half-reactions:
Ag+(aq) + e“ Ag(s) E = +0.80 V
Cu2+(aq) + 2 e“ Cu(s) E = +0.34 V
Pb2+(aq) + 2 e“ Pb(s) E = “0.13 V
