Consider the equilibrium C(s) + H₂O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H₂(g), $\Delta$H = 2296 J. The concentration of carbon will not change if gaseous water is added to the system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium Constant (K) of the reaction is given by K = [CO][H₂]/[C][H₂O]. If gaseous water is added, it will not affect the concentrations of CO, H₂, or H₂O. Therefore, the equilibrium constant does not change, and the concentration of carbon will remain the same.
