Answer the following 6 questions on the basis of the given below paragraph.
Physical and chemical equilibria respond stress, e.g. change in pressure, temperature and concentration of reactants and products. According to Le Chatelier’s principal a system at equilibrium, when subjected to a disturbance (stress), responds in a way that tends to minimize the effect of the disturbance.
Effect of pressure :- The principle implies that if a system at equilibrium is compressed, the reaction will adjust so as to minimize the increase in pressure. Thus, if volume of gas phase reaction system is reduced, the equilibrium shifts in the direction in which number of moles decreases. Although equilibrium constant is independent of pressure (at a fixed temperature), the various concentrations are changed on reducing the
volume of the system, i.e., increasing the pressure.
However, if increase in pressure is effected by introducing an inert gas to the reaction vessel of constant volume, partial pressures or concentrations of various species remain unchanged as they continue to occupy the same volume. But at constant pressure condition, introduction of inert gas into the reaction system will lead to increase in volume and in consequence to the change in concentrations of various species. Under this condition, the equilibrium shifts in the direction in which number of moles of gaseous species increases.
Effect of temperature :- Le Chatelier principal predicts a system at equilibrium will tend to shift in the endothermic direction when temperature is raised, for then energy is absorbed as heat and the rise in temperature is opposed. Conversely, an equilibrium will shift in the exothermic direction if the temperature is lowered, for then heat energy is released and the reduction in temperature is opposed Van’t Hoff equation shows the dependence of equilibrium constant K on temperature as:
or log

Effect of addition of reactants or products ; On addition of one or more reactants, the equilibrium will shift to the products side so that the added reactants are consumed and increase in their concentrations is opposed. Addition of one or more products causes the equilibrium to shift in backward direction.
Consider the equilibrium,

IF
is added and volume of the reaction vessel is reduced, the equilibrium will;
