ANSWER AND STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION The correct statements for the reaction given are a removing CO2to the left b removing H2Oto theleft c expanding the volumeto the left d increasing total pressure by adding an inert gasto the right e increasing total pressure by changing the volumeto the right Explanation In a chemical reaction equilibrium is reached when the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant When one of the reactants is removed the equilibrium shifts to the left meaning that the reaction produces more of the reactants When one of the products is removed the equilibrium shifts to the right meaning that the reaction produces more of the products Similarly when the volume of the reaction is increased the equilibrium shifts to the left producing more reactants On the other hand when the total pressure of the reaction is increased by adding an inert gas or changing the volume the equilibrium shifts to the right producing more products Therefore in the given reaction removing CO2 ...
