Acetylene and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide and water, like this: \[ 2 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+5 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \] Suppose a mixture of \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}, \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) and \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) has come to equilibrium in a closed reaction vessel. Predict what change, if any, the perturbations in the table below will cause in the composition of the mixture in the vessel. Also decide whether the equilibrium shifts to the right or left.
