Consider the equilibrium CO ( ~g )+3 H ₂( ~g ) CH ₄( ~g )+ H ₂ O ( ~g ) If the pressure applied over the system increases by two fold at constant temperature then (A) Concentration of reactants and products increases. (B) Equilibrium will shift in forward direction. (C) Equilibrium constant increases since concentration of products increases. (D) Equilibrium constant remains unchanged as concentration of reactants an
Options
- A(A), (B) and (C) only
- B(A) and (B) only
- C(A), (B) and (D) only
- D(B) and (C) only
Correct answer
B. (A) and (B) only
Step-by-step solution
aligned & CO ( g )+3 H ₂ CH ₄( ~g )+ H ₂ O ( g ) & n _ g =-2 aligned If pressure of system increases then according to Le-Chatelier's principle reaction will move in forward direction. Concentration of reactant and products both increases but concentration of product increases more.
