Consider this reaction at equilibrium: 2 BrNO(g) ⇌ 2 NO(g) + Br2(g) Predict whether the reaction will shift left, shift right, or remain unchanged after each disturbance. a. NO is added to the reaction mixture.

Hi everyone here we have a question that asks which of the following will occur when the amount of carbon monoxide is increased in the following reaction. At equilibrium phosgene gasses forms carbon monoxide gasses, plus chlorine gas is a. The reaction will shift to the left, be the reaction will shift to the right or see. The reaction will remain unchanged according to the chandeliers principle. If a system is at equilibrium when we disturb it, then the system will readjust to maintain its equilibrium state. So carbon monoxide is a product. So if we increase carbon monoxide, it will shift more to the reactant and increased posturing, so it will shift the reaction to the left. So our answer here is a the reaction will shift to the left. Thank you for watching. Bye.
