Question

Assume that the following exothermic chemical reaction is at equilibrium. CuO (s) + H2 (g) ⇌ H2O (g) + Cu (s). Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Choose one option.

a. Increasing the concentration of H2 (g) will cause the reaction to proceed in the backward direction (shift to left), increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O (g).

b. Decreasing the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction (shift to right), increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O (g).

c. Increasing the amount of CuO(s) will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O (g).

d. Increasing the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction (shift to right), increasing the value of the equilibrium constant of this reaction.

e. The value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction will stay the same after the temperature is increased.
