Assignment:
Using Le Chatelier's principle, indicate how each change will affect the following reactions. Justify your answer.
2NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) <---> Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) delta H = -180kJ/mol
(a) Removing Na2CO3 from the reaction vessel.
(b) Adding more CO2(g) thereby increasing the pressure in the reaction vessel. Consider both the addition of reagent and the change in pressure in your answer.
(c) Adding an inert gas to the reaction mixture to increase the pressure in the reaction vessel.
(d) Lowering the temperature of the reaction vessel.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
