Equilibria in aqueous solution
EQUILIBRIA IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION · IMAT Doutor1 / 1
Extra solid calcium carbonate is added to the equilibrium CaCO3(s) in equilibrium with CaO(s) + CO2(g) in a sealed vessel at constant temperature. What is the effect?
A
The equilibrium shifts to the right, because more reactant is now present in the vessel
B
The equilibrium shifts to the left, because the extra solid absorbs some of the CO2
C
The value of Kp doubles, because the amount of solid reactant has doubled
D
There is no effect, because pure solids do not appear in the equilibrium expression
E
The value of Kp is halved, because the CO2 is shared between more solid
