In the reaction of carbon dioxide with water to give carbonic acid, the only gaseous component is the carbon dioxide. What will happen to the equilibrium concentration of carbonic acid if the pressure of carbon dioxide is increased in the container?

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of carbonic acid will increase.

Explanation:

CO₂  (g) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₂CO₃ (l)

The Le Chatelier rule states that the reaction will shift in order to reestate the equilibrium.

If the pressure of carbon dioxide increases, the the equilibrium will shift towards the consumptiom of carbon dioxide. This means that more carbonic acid will be produced.
