Question

When considering Le Chätelier's Principle and the factors that affect chemical equilibrium, which of the following is not true?

a. Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium position to the right.
b. Decreasing the volume of a system shifts the equilibrium position to the left.
c. Changing the concentration and volume does not always change the equilibrium constant in a reaction.
d. Changing the temperature alters both the equilibrium constant and position.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B, Decreasing the volume of a system shifts the equilibrium position to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a le Chateliers principle a reaction in equilibriul state is majorly affected by the following factors –

a) Concentration of the participating element

b) Temperature at which reaction is conducted

c) Pressure at which reaction is conducted

d) Type of catalyst used in the reaction

There is no relationship between the volume of the system and the shifting of equilibrium position. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer 2

When considering Le Chatelier's Principle and factors that affect chemical equilibrium, the answer that is not true would be: Decreasing the volume of a system shifts the equilibrium position to the left.
