Which of these situations will result if some CH₄(g)is removed from the reaction CO(g)+ 3H₂(g) CH₄(g)+ H₂O(g)at equilibrium?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a reactant is removed from a reaction mixture at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift in the direction of producing more of the removed reactant. In this case, CH₄ is being removed, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction of producing more CH₄. As a result, H₂O will react with more CO to produce more CH₄ and H₂O, leading to an increase in the concentrations of both products. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
