Effect of Dilution on Aqueous Equilibrium
Which of the following statements correctly describes the effect of dilution on an aqueous equilibrium system?
A
Diluting the solution by adding extra water shifts the equilibrium in the direction that produces fewer aqueous particles.
B
Diluting the solution causes the equilibrium constant to change, thereby altering the ratio of products to reactants permanently.
C
Diluting the solution by adding extra water shifts the equilibrium toward the side with more dissolved species (typically the side with more aqueous particles).
D
Dilution has no impact on the equilibrium position because changes in volume do not affect chemical equilibria.
