Consider the following equilibrium: HCOOH(aq) + H2O(l) ↔ HCOO-(aq) + H3O+(aq). How will the addition of a small amount of NaOH affect the equilibrium?

A. It will shift to the left.
B. It will shift to the right.
C. It won't be affected.
D. More information is needed.

Respuesta :

The equilibrium will not be affected even if NaOH is added.

Equilibrium is dependent on temperature and doesn’t change with changes in concentration or pressure.
