When bromine gas reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide, the equilibrium represented by the equation:

Br2(aq) + 2OH-(aq) $_{\leftarrow}^{\rightarrow}$ Br-(aq) + OBr-(aq) + H2O(l) is established. What observations would be made if a few drops of sulphuric (VI) acid were added to the equilibrium mixture? Explain.

The mixture would turn brown due to excess Br2(g). H+ ions removes OH- ions from the mixture, and equilibrium shifts to the left.
