Given the reaction: h2o2(l) ⇌ h2(g) + o2(g) the forward reaction is endothermic. determine which of the following changes would result in equilibrium shifting towards the reactants. i. increase h2 ii. decrease o2 iii. add a catalyst iv. decrease the temperature v. increase h2o2

I and IV

Explanation:

Increasing the number of particles at one side of the reaction (H2 in this case) results in the shifting of the equilibrium to the side with lesser number of particles, so in this case the equilibrium will shift to the left (towards the reactants)

A decrease in temperature will always function to favor the exothermic reaction, and since the backwards reaction is exothermic, the equilibrium will shift to the left (towards the reactants).

Option II and V will shift the equilibrium to the products, and adding a catalyst has no effect on the equilibrium.

Hope this helps!

Sorry i think the answer is b

The atomic nucleus made up from protons (yellow) and neutrons (blue) and held together by nuclear forces. nuclear forces (also known as nuclear interactions or strong forces) are the forces that act between two or more nucleons. they bind protons and neutrons (“nucleons”) into atomic
