Consider the chemical equilibrium of the following reaction

ch3cooh mc015-1.jpg ch3coo– (aq) + h+(aq)

what will happen to the chemical equilibrium of the solution if ch3coona is added?

the equilibrium will shifts to the right.

the equilibrium will shifts to the left.

the equilibrium will be unaffected.

the equilibrium will be lost.,

               The Equilibrium will shift to the left.

Explanation:

                      The reaction at equilibrium is as follow,

                              CH₃COOH       ↔    CH3COO⁻ + H⁺

According to Le Chatelier's Principle," When a system (reaction) at equilibrium is subjected to any stress (like change in Concentration, Pressure, Temperature e.t.c) the system (reaction) tends to adjust itself in such a way so as to minimize the effect of that change".

Hence, in above reaction when Sodium Acetate (source of CH₃COO⁻) is added the equilibrium will shift in left side and will decrease the concentration of CH₃COO⁻ions.

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.
