Hydrogen gas can be generated from methane by the following catalyzed reaction, performed in a closed container. CH4(g) + H2O(g) + heat ? CO(g) + 3H2(g) Indicate the direction in which the equilibrium position would shift as a consequence of each of the following actions: refrigerating the warm equilibrium mixture increasing the size of the reaction container increasing the pressure in the container by adding an inert gas removing H2O from the mixture Ammonia gas can be synthesized by the following catalyzed reaction, performed in a closed container. N2(g) + 3H2(g) ? 2NH3(g) + heat Indicate the direction in which the equilibrium position would shift as a consequence of each of the following actions: adding catalyst to the mixture adding N2 to the mixture heating the equilibrium mixture decreasing the size of the reaction container

Step 1
Adding a catalyst to the mixture: A catalyst speeds up the rate of the reaction but does not affect the equilibrium position. Therefore, there is **no effect** on the equilibrium position. Show more…

Le Chatelier's Principle Hydrogen gas can be generated from propane by the following catalyzed reaction, performed in a closed container. C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) + heat → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) Indicate the direction in which the equilibrium position would shift as a consequence of each of the following actions: - Heating the equilibrium mixture - Decreasing the size of the reaction container - Increasing the pressure in the container by adding an inert gas - Decreasing the relative concentration of H2 (by removal)

Methane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen, like this: CH4(g) + H2O(g) → CO(g) + 3H2(g). Suppose a mixture of CH4, H2O, CO, and H2 has come to equilibrium in a closed reaction vessel. Predict what change, if any, the perturbations in the table below will cause in the composition of the mixture in the vessel. Also decide whether the equilibrium shifts to the right or left.

Methane gas can be produced in a laboratory by reacting carbon disulfide, CS2(g), and hydrogen gas, as represented by the equation below. CS2(g) + 4 H2(g) = CH4(g) + 2 H2S(g) The initial concentrations that are placed into an empty flask at a temperature of 90.0 ÂşC are 0.175 mol/L CS2(g) and 0.310 mol/L H2(g). When equilibrium is established, 0.125 mol/L CS2(g) is present. a) Determine the concentration of hydrogen gas present in the flask at equilibrium. Show all work. b) Write the equilibrium law expression for the reaction, and determine the equilibrium constant for the reaction at 90.0 ÂşC. Show all work.
