Consider the equation: CH 4 (g)+ 2O 2 (g)⇔ CO 2 (g)+ 2H 2 O (g)to answer the questions below.
-Refer to the equilibrium shown above. If the reaction vessel is expanded, this will ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expanding the reaction vessel will not affect the equilibrium, since the number of moles on both sides of the equation will remain the same. This means that the concentration of the reactants and products will stay the same, and there will be no need for the reaction to shift in either direction in order to maintain equilibrium.
