c. What will happen to the concentration of each reactant and product at equilibrium if H₂O is removed?
d. What will happen to the concentration of each reactant and product at equilibrium if CO is added?
e. What will happen to the concentration of each reactant and product at equilibrium if the temperature of the
system is increased?
