(a) O2(g)) is added to the system. which will happen?

the equilibrium will not shift

the equilibrium will shift toward product but Keq will not change

the equilibrium will shift toward reactant but Keq will not change

the equilibrium will shift toward product and Keq will increase

the equilibrium will shift toward reactant and Keq will decrease

 

(b) The reaction mixture is cooled.

the equilibrium will not shift

the equilibrium will shift toward product but Keq will not change

the equilibrium will shift toward reactant but Keq will not change

the equilibrium will shift toward product and Keq will increase

the equilibrium will shift toward reactant and Keq will decrease

 
(c) The volume of the reaction vessel is reduced by 50%.

       



(d) A catalyst is added to the reaction mixture.

       



(e) The total pressure of the system is increased by adding a noble gas.

       



(f) Cl2(g) is removed from the system.
