Equilibrium 7

⇐ To index

 

Process A(g) → B(g) is exothermic; ΔH<0. When this reaction is performed in a closed system reaches an equilibrium state A(g) ⇄ B(g). The following picture shows a representative sample of this system.

 

 

If B(g) is added to this system in equilibrium, keeping the volume constant, which of the following representations best describes the situation of the system when it reaches equilibrium again?
