Hey everyone,
At the moment I am stuck with an example and was wondering if someone could please explain it to me:
You have the equation:
BiOCl(s) + 2H+(aq) -><- Bi3+(aq) +Cl-(aq) +H2O(l)
Why is it that when you add extra water to the system, there is no change to the equilibrium? I would have thought that the equilibrium would shift left and the reverse reaction would be favoured? (The answers from the book in which the question came does not give a reason why).
Thanks a tonne
