For a reaction, if K_ P >K_ C , the forward reaction is favoured by
Options
- Alow pressure
- Bhigh pressure
- Chigh temperature
- Dlow temperature
Correct answer
A. low pressure
Step-by-step solution
K_ p =K_ C (R T)^ n If n is positive than K_ p >K_ C also, gaseous moles of product > moles of reactant. Forward reaction is favoured by low pressure, according to Le-Chatelier's principle.
