Question

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: Le Cha^{^}telier's principle predicts that adding O₂(g) to the reaction container will _ .

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding more of a reactant will shift the equilibrium to favor the products. In this case, adding more CO₂(g) will shift the equilibrium to produce more CO (g) and _{(g). Therefore, the partial pressure of CO₂(g) will increase at equilibrium.}
