Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 1 - No. 21)

Consider the reaction: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH < 0. What would happen if you remove some of the water vapor?
The equilibrium shifts to the left.
The equilibrium shifts to the right.
The equilibrium is unchanged.
The reaction slows down.

Explanation

Removing a product causes the equilibrium to shift to the product side to compensate for the change.
