a. adding more H2O

 

b. removing O2

 

c. increasing the temperature of the system

 

d. decreasing the pressure of the system

Answer 1

a. adding more H2O - will accelerate forward reaction

b. removing O2 - will accelerate forward reaction

c. increasing the temperature of the system - - will accelerate the backward reaction
