Question

Applying Le Chatelier's principle, in which direction will the equilibrium shift, (if at all)?

CH4( g)+2 O2( g)CO2( g)+2 H2O(g)+802.3 kJ\mathrm{CH}_4(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{~O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{~H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})+802.3 \mathrm{~kJ}

(a) if the temperature is increased
(b) if a catalyst is added
(c) if CH4\mathrm{CH}_4 is added
(d) if the volume of the reaction vessel is decreased

In this task, we need to determine in which direction equilibrium will shift.

The equilibrium position can be affected by changing the concentration, pressure, and temperature.

If one of the conditions under which the system is in a state of chemical equilibrium changes, then the equilibrium shift will be in the direction of that reaction which tends to oppose that change and to establish the previous conditions. This legality is known as Le Chatelier's principle.
