Answer:

First answer : (b).

Second answer : (b).

Third answer :  (a).

Explanation:

  • All the given reactions are reversible in nature.
  • In a reversible chemical reaction, the shift of equilibrium of the reaction towards the production of products or reactants is dependent on the abundance of reactants or products.
  • As in the first question, if the products available are more (C) than the reactants, then the equilibrium of the reaction would shift towards the formation of the reactants (A and B).
  • As in second question, if reactants available are more (heat addition) than that of products, then the equilibrium of the reaction would shift towards the formation of products (D).
  • As in the third question, we want to generate more HCL, which is the reactant, so we need to increase the amount of product, so we need to add more H2O.
