Consider the following reaction. C(s)+ H₂O(g)⇌ CO(g)+ H₂(g) At equilibrium at a certain temperature,[H₂O] = 0.12 M,and [CO] = [H₂] = 1.2 M.If suddenly these concentrations are increased by 0.50 M,which of the following is true? A)more products are formed B)K_c = 4.66 C)more H₂O(g)will be formed D)Since K_c does not change,nothing happens.

Le Chatelier's principle states that if a change of condition is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will shift in a direction that relieves the stress. In this case, the stress is the increase in concentration of H2O and CO. The system will shift to relieve this stress by forming more H2 and CO.
