Question

If the equation CO(g) + 2H2(g) →← → ← CH3OH(g) + energy is for a system at equilibrium, increasing the temperature will cause _____. [

CH3OH] to increase and [CO] to decrease [

CH3OH] to decrease and [CO] to increase

both [CH3OH] and [CO] to increase

both [CH3OH] and [H2] to decrease

Answer 1

Answer:

[CH₃OH] to decrease and [CO] to increase.

Explanation:

• Since the energy appears as a product. So, the system is exothermic that releases heat.

• Increasing the temperature of the system will cause the system to be shifted to the left side to attain the equilibrium again.

• So, the right answer is:

[CH₃OH] to decrease and [CO] to increase.
