2)If the following reaction is at equilibrium, what will happen to the concentration of the products and reactants after more CaCO3 is added?
CaCO3 (s) <------> CaO(s) + CO2 (g) ?H: 23.4 kcal
Select one:
a. Reactants will increase, products will decrease
b. The concentration of the reactants and products will remain the same
c. Reactants will increase, products will increase
d. Reactants will decrease, products will increase
d)Reactants will decrease, products will increase
Step-by-step explanation
In equilibrium, when a reactant is added in a system, the system shifts to the product to maintain equilibrium. For example, when CaCO3 is added, since it is a reactant, the reaction shifts to the product. More amount of products will be produced but less amount of the reactant to maintain equilbrium.
