d. Remove NO as it is formed.
By removing NO as it is formed, the equilibrium is shifted to the right because Le Chatelier's principle states that if a product is removed from the reaction mixture, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that generates more of that product in order to restore equilibrium.
Copper metal reacts exothermically with 8 mol dm–3 nitric acid to produce nitrogen monoxide, according to the equation:
Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq)
3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 4H2O(l) + 2NO(g)
Which of the following measures would force the equilibrium position to the right?
a Use more concentrated acid.
b Use a catalyst.
c Heat the mixture.
d Remove NO as it is formed
