How to displace balance to the right towards receiving salt?

Are you familiar with LeChatelier's principle?

thank you for answer
I am searching something like a catalyst or else. (i know about LeChatelier's principle)
Maybe ethanol ?

what would happen if you were to have a system in place such that you were able to remove water?

[fledarmus]

Catalysts only lower the activation energy of a reaction - they do not change the distribution of products and starting materials in themselves.

Thank you but how to do it ? Apparat or something else ?

[reef22]

no one knows ?

We try not to spoon-feed solutions in this forum - it is a group for helping people learn to solve problems. So come on, at least try to think about the answer!

How do you remove water from a solution? What else could you add or remove to drive the reaction?

Thank you but i know about it. What displaces balance towards formation of salt ? temperature, any catalyst ?

There are also different possibilities

There are also different possibilities

Which ones ?

You could add more reactants
You could increase or decrease the temperature depending on the ethalpy

dont know if this helps
