JEE Main2017ChemistryChemical EquilibriumActual
The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal: F e 2 O 3 s + 3 C O g ⇌ 2 F e l + 3 C O 2 g Using the Le Chatelier's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium?
Options
- AAddition of C O 2
- BRemoval of C O 2
- CAddition of F e 2 O 3
- DRemoval of CO
Correct answer
C. Addition of F e 2 O 3
Step-by-step solution
It is heterogeneous equilibrium Fe is liquid Fe 2 O 3 is solid whose active mass is taken to be unity so, it will not be considered in k p , k c ,& k x expresssion. So, it will not disturb the equilibrium
