Consider the reaction system CH 4 (g) + 2O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2H 2 O(g) + energy, and use the following choices to describe what happens when the changes below are made to the system at equilibrium. -CH₄(g) is added to the reaction vessel.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, the addition of CH4(g) will increase the concentration of reactants and cause the system to shift towards the products to reach a new equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift towards the right, resulting in an increase in the concentration of COS(g) and H2S(g) and a decrease in the concentration of CH4(g) and O2(g).
