What is the effect of adding more water to the following equilibrium reaction?

Equilibrium is pushed to the reactant side


What correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?

At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. The concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, although they are still reacting. The equilibrium position can be affected by changes in temperature, pressure, or concentration.


What effect does increasing the pressure have on this equilibrium?

the forwrd reaction is favored


How does adding more reactants effect equilibrium?

Le Chatelier's principle says that, when a equilibrium is disturbed by adding or removing one or more of the contents, the system will attain a new equilibrium to minimize its effect. So when reactants are added to the system, some of they will react and give products in order to gain the new equilibrium.


What conditions are present when equilibrium is reached in a solution?

When equilibrium is reached in a solution, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. This means that the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. At equilibrium, the system is dynamically stable, with no net changes occurring in the concentrations of reactants and products.


Is it true that a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position but has no effect on the equilibrium constant?

Yes, a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position by shifting the reaction towards the side with more moles of gas to relieve the pressure change, but it has no effect on the equilibrium constant because the equilibrium constant is determined solely by the reaction's intrinsic properties.


What can effect equilibrium shifts?

Changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature can all affect the equilibrium position of a reaction. Adding or removing reactants or products, changing the volume of the container, or altering the temperature can lead to shifts in equilibrium to favor the formation of products or reactants. Additionally, catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium but can speed up the attainment of equilibrium.


When a chemical reaction and it and reverse are occurring at the same time and at the same rate the reaction has achieved?

equilibrium


What effect does the removal of heat have on the equilibrium position?

The temperature of a reaction will entirely change th equilibrium position for any given reaction. If I'm right, as you increase the temperature, the equilibrium shifts closer to the endothermic reaction as there is more heat to consume. It may also, of course, change other properties of the substances involved in the reaction, but that depends on the chemicals.


Assuming that the reaction is at equilibrium what effect does the addition of a catalyst have on the equilibruim?

a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)


What is the effect of temperature on conversion value in cstr?

Temperature affects the conversion value in a CSTR in two ways: 1) it should increase the rate of conversion 2) it should shift the equilibrium of the reaction note that in shifting the equilibrium, it shifts the equilibrium of ALL reactions including side reactions which can be suppressed or promoted If the reaction is nearing equilibrium prior to exiting the reactor, the second effect can be very significant. Increasing the rate of conversion could allow faster throughput in the reactor with the same conversion - unless the effect on equilibrium shift is significant


Does carbon Dioxide effect the production of sugars?

Yes it does, based upon the principle called Equilibrium. As being a reagent in a chemical (and/or biochemical) reaction [anabolic or catabolic makes no difference], CO2's concentration will always produce an effect on the at-equilibrium concentrations of the products of the reaction, in this case sugars.
