Solution Summary

167 words to explain which of the following favour reverse reactions: total volume increase, boiling water addition, water vapour removal and the system being cooled.

Solution Preview

a) The total volume of the system is increased.
If the volume increases, then if we're dealing with a closed system, the pressure will decrease. A decrease in pressure will make the water boil easier. In other words, the barrier to convert ...
