Correct answer: C
- Write the equilibrium reaction
We are asked: which change will not disturb the equilibrium according to Le-Chatelier's principle.
- Important equilibrium idea
For a heterogeneous equilibrium, the activities of pure solids and pure liquids are constant, so they do not appear in the equilibrium expression.
Thus, for this reaction,
Here, and do not appear in .
- Check each option
Option A: Addition of
Adding a product increases , so the reaction quotient increases. The system will shift left to oppose this change. So equilibrium is disturbed.
Option B: Removal of
Removing a reactant decreases , changing the reaction quotient. The system will shift left to produce more . So equilibrium is disturbed.
Option C: Addition of
is a solid. Changing the amount of a pure solid does not affect the equilibrium position, as long as some solid is already present. So equilibrium is not disturbed.
Option D: Removal of
Removing a product decreases . The system will shift right to form more . So equilibrium is disturbed.
- Conclusion
The only change that does not disturb the equilibrium is:
