• a decrease in pressure
• removal of N₂(g)
• removal of H₂(g)

Given the reaction at equilibrium:
2H₂(g) + O₂(g) ↔ 2H₂O(g) + Heat
Which concentration changes occur when the temperature of the system is increased?

• The [H₂] decreases and the [O₂] decreases.
• The [H₂] decreases and the [O₂] increases.
• The [H₂] increases and the [O₂] decreases.
• The [H₂] increases and the [O₂] increases.

Which statement is true for a saturated solution?

• It must be a concentrated solution.
• It must be a diluted solution.
