The correct Answer is:
To determine what change will shift the equilibrium of the reaction \[ \text{NH}_4\text{Cl}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_4^+(aq) + \text{Cl}^-(aq) \] with a given enthalpy change (\(\Delta H = +3.5 \, \text{kcal/mol}\)), we can apply Le Chatelier's principle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of the Reaction**: - The reaction is endothermic since \(\Delta H\) is positive. This means that heat is absorbed when the reaction proceeds to the right (products). 2. **Apply Le Chatelier's Principle**: - Le Chatelier's principle states that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust to counteract that change and restore a new equilibrium. 3. **Consider the Effect of Temperature**: - For an endothermic reaction, increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right (towards the products) because the system will try to absorb the added heat. 4. **Evaluate Other Possible Changes**: - Adding a solid (like NH4Cl) does not affect the equilibrium position because solids do not appear in the equilibrium expression. - Adding an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reactants or products, so it will not shift the equilibrium. - Decreasing the temperature would shift the equilibrium to the left (towards the reactants) for an endothermic reaction. 5. **Conclusion**: - The only change that will shift the equilibrium to the right is an increase in temperature. ### Final Answer: **Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right.**
