Diagnostic Misconceptions - Concentration

Test yourself on Diagnostic Misconceptions - Concentration

• How will increasing the concentration of a reactant affect the equilibrium position in a reversible reaction if there is an excess of all other reactants?

• The following reaction occurs in equilibrium:
  BiCl_3(aq) + H₂O_(l) $\rightleftharpoons$ BiOCl_(s) + 2HCl_(aq)
  
  What would happen to the position of the equilibrium if you were to add BiCl_3(aq) with an excess of H₂O_?

• The following reaction occurs in equilibrium:
  Fe³⁺_(aq) + SCN⁻_(aq) $\rightleftharpoons$ FeSCN²⁺_(aq)
  
  What would happen to the position of the equilibrium if you increased the concentration of FeSCN²⁺_(aq)?

• How will decreasing the concentration of a reactant affect the equilibrium position in a reversible reaction?

• The following reaction occurs in equilibrium:
  BiCl_3(aq) + H₂O_(l) $\rightleftharpoons$ BiOCl_(s) + 2HCl_(aq)
  
  What would happen to the position of the equilibrium if you were to remove HCl_(aq) from the reaction vessel?
