Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, any disturbance occurring in an equilibrium reaction will shift the equilibrium in a direction that will oppose the change.

As the given reactions are as follows.

  •  [tex]Ni(OH)_{2}(s) \rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq) + 2OH^{-}(aq)[/tex]

When concentration of [tex]Ni^{2+}[/tex] is increased in this reaction then reaction will shift in a direction that will be opposing the change. This means that the reaction will shift in backward direction.

  • [tex][Ni(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+}(aq) + 3en(aq) \rightleftharpoons [Ni(en)_{3}]^{2+}(aq) + 6NH_{3}(aq)[/tex]

In this reaction, both water and ethylenediamine are neutral molecules. Hence, charge on nickel on each side will be equal to +2. Therefore, reaction will remain in equilibrium.

  • [tex][Ni^{2+}(aq) + 6NH_{3}(aq) \rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+}(aq)[/tex]

When we increase the concentration of [tex]Ni^{2+}[/tex] then equilibrium reaction will shift in the forward direction.

  • [tex][NiS(aq) \rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq) + S^{2-}(aq)[/tex]

Here, on increasing the concentration of [tex]Ni^{2+}[/tex] will shift the equilibrium in backward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options [tex][Ni^{2+}(aq) + 6NH_{3}(aq) \rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+}(aq)[/tex] is the chemical reaction in which equilibrium reaction will experience a shift towards the products in equilibrium position when the concentration of [tex]Ni^{2+}[/tex] is increased.
