1.	Describe the effect of a.removal of H2 b.addition of CO c.addition of CH3OH
Answer» according to LE - Chatelier's principle, it states that a change in any of the factors that determine the equilibrium CONDITIONS of a system will cause the system to change in such a MANNER so as to reduce or to counteract the effect of the change . after applying the rules , we get (a) addition of H2 ( increasing concentration of reactants ) means equilibrium shifts forward direction ( hence, more products is FORMED ) (b) addition of CH3OH : increases in concentration of products ) means equilibrium shifts the backward direction. (c) Removal of CO : if we remove the CO then equilibrium shifts the backward direction. (d) Removal of CH3OH : equilibrium shifts in forward direction.
