    (NH4) 2CO3 (s) ⇄ 2NH3 (g) + CO2 (g) + H2O (g)

    The effect that adding water (H2O) have in reaction above is that The concentration of the product would decrease, and the concentration of reactant would increase. (answer C)

    Explanation

    If the concentration of one substance is changed, the equilibrium shift to minimize the effect of that change. H2O in reaction above is a product.

    Increase of water (H2O) concentration will led to the shift of equilibrium to the left (reactant side). The concentration of reactant increase as that of product decrease.
