NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
Assertion : For equilibrium Ice ( ) Water on increasing temperature and pressure more of water will form. Reason : Forward reaction is endothermic and volume decreases on product side.
Options
- AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
- BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
- CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
- DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).
Correct answer
A. If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
Step-by-step solution
Heat + ice ( ) water On increasing pressure, volume decreases. For water, decrease in volume of water is less ( ( ) density increase) ( ) Concentration of ice increases with respect to water, hence equilibrium shifts towards right. Also, reaction is endothermic, hence increase in temperature results in melting of ice.
