Question

Based on Le Chatelier's Principle, what happens in the Antacid Film Canister Lab if the concentration of the reactants (subject: Chemistry):

a) The reaction shifts towards the products.
b) The reaction remains unchanged.
c) The reaction reverses to form more reactants.
d) The reaction becomes explosive.

Answer 1

According to Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure is increased, the equilibrium shifts toward the products side.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, if pressure is increased, then the equilibrium shifts to the side with the fewer number of moles of gas. This particular reaction shows a total of 4 mol of gas as reactants and 2 mol of gas as products, so the reaction shifts toward the products side.
