NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
According to Le Chatelier's principle, what can be ignored when applying pressure changes to a heterogeneous equilibrium?
Options
- ASolids and liquids
- BGases
- CTemperature
- DCatalysts
Correct answer
A. Solids and liquids
Step-by-step solution
Applying Le Chatelier’s principle to a heterogeneous equilibrium, the effect of pressure changes on solids and liquids can be ignored because the volume (and concentration) of a solution/liquid is nearly independent of pressure.
