Consider the following heterogeneous reaction:
Mg(s) + 2H3O+(aq) Mg2+(aq) + H2(g) + 2H2O
Which of the following statements is false?
a. The amount of magnesium present does not affect the equilibrium position.
b. Adding 1.0 atm of N2 to the system would cause the reverse reaction to be favored.
c. Increasing causes the forward reaction to be favored.
d. Increasing [H3O+] causes the forward reaction to be favored.
e. Decreasing [Mg2+] causes the forward reaction to be favored.
Answer: c. Increasing causes the forward reaction to be favored.
