Question

Suppose NaOH is added to the following system when it is at equilibrium.
NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) = NH4 (aq) + OH (aq)
a) in which direction will the reaction shift after the NaOH is added?
b) will this stress increase or decrease the value of the reaction quotient, Q?

Answers

a)The reaction will shift to the left in order to try and decrease the added OH.

b) Write the expression for Q and see if increased OH will caue Q to go up or go down.
