Chapter 15, Problem 72

Coal can be used to generate hydrogen gas (a potential fuel) by the endothermic reaction: C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2(g) If this reaction mixture is at equilibrium, predict whether each disturbance will result in the formation of additional hydrogen gas, the formation of less hydrogen gas, or have no effect on the quantity of hydrogen gas. e. adding a catalyst to the reaction mixture

Hi everyone here we have a question giving us an endo thermic reaction, nitrogen gasses plus oxygen gaseous forms to nitric oxide gasses, which of the following statements is true. A The addition of a catalyst that equilibrium will increase the amount of nitric oxide be the addition of a catalyst. That equilibrium will decrease the amount of nitrogen. See the addition of the catalyst at equilibrium will decrease the amount of oxygen or D. The addition of the catalyst. That equilibrium will have no effect on the amount of nitric oxide. The addition of the catalyst has no effect on the amount. So our answer here is D. The addition of a catalyst at the equilibrium will have no effect on the amount of nitric oxide. Thank you for watching. Bye.
