Chapter 15, Problem 75P(choose chapter or problem)
Coal, which is primarily carbon, can be converted to natural gas, primarily \( \mathrm{CH}_{4}\), by this exothermic reaction.
\(\mathrm{C}(s)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)\)
If this reaction mixture is at equilibrium, predict the effect (shift right, shift left, or no effect) of these changes.
(a) adding more \(C\) to the reaction mixture
(b) adding more \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) to the reaction mixture
(c) raising the temperature of the reaction mixture
(d) lowering the volume of the reaction mixture

Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 6
The principle of Le Chatelier’s governs the newly formed equilibrium condition in which the reaction is subjected to any change in the reaction situations like pressure, concentration, temperature, etc. These changes in the conditions influence the direction of the reaction.
