Question

If the system 2CO(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2CO2(g) has come to equilibrium, what happens when more C(g) is added?

[CO2] increases and [O2] decreases
[CO2] increases and [O2] increases
[CO2] decreases and [O2] increases
Both [CO2] and [O2] remain the same

[CO2] increases and [O2] decreases. This is because additional C will react with O2 to produce more CO2, driving the equilibrium to shift towards the product side, which increases the concentration of CO2 and decreases the concentration of O2.
