Assume that the following endothermic chemical reaction is at equilibrium. C(s) + H2O(g) H2(g) + CO(g) Which of the following statements is/are CORRECT?   1. Increasing the concentration of H2(g) will cause the reaction to proceed in the backward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of H2O(g).   2. Decreasing the temperature will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).   3. Increasing the amount of C(s) will cause the reaction to proceed in the forward direction, increasing the equilibrium concentration of CO(g).

For the reaction provided, the rate of disappearance of IO3–(aq) at a particular time and concentration is 2.6 × 10-3 mol/L·s. IO3–(aq) + 5I–(aq) + 6H+(aq) → 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l) What is the relative rate of appearance of I2(aq)?

A 2.5 L flask is filled with 0.25 mol SO3, 0.20 mol SO2, and 0.40 mol O2, and allowed to reach equilibrium. Assume the temperature of the mixture is chosen so that Kc = 0.12. Predict the effect on the concentration of SO3 as equilibrium is achieved by using Q, the reaction quotient. 2 SO3(g) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
