Consider the Following Equilibrium Mixture in a Closed System: H₂Og)

Multiple Choice

Consider the following equilibrium mixture in a closed system: H₂Og) + COg) ⇌ H₂g) + CO₂g) . Explain what would happen to the equilibrium upon the addition of carbon monoxide gas?

A) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the left which would result in more reactants being produced until equilibrium is achieved.
B) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would not disrupt the equilibrium, so nothing would happen.
C) The addition of carbon monoxide gas would disrupt the equilibrium causing it to shift towards the right which would result in more products being produced until equilibrium is achieved.
