Interpretation: Two things needs to be named that could form more reactants in an equilibrium mixture.
Concept introduction: According to LeChatlier's principle, when a dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change in either concentration or temperature or pressure, then the position of equilibrium will shift in such a direction that it nullifies the change.
For example:
If concentration of A is increased by adding some more amount of A at equilibrium, then left side concentration is increasing, so to nullify this change, equilibrium shifts towards right side. Hence, forward reaction or formation of C is favoured in this case.
Answer to Problem 1E
Two things that could form more reactants in an equilibrium mixture are:
- Increasing the product concentration.
Explanation of Solution
Two things that could form more reactants in an equilibrium mixture are discussed in detail by taking an example of equilibrium mixture described by equation as:
- Increasing the product concentration:
The addition of
