AIIMS2008ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
Assertion : According to Le-Chatelier's principle addition of heat to an equilibrium solid ( ) liquid results in decrease in the amount of solid. Reason : Reaction is endothermic, so on heating forward reaction is favoured.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Solid + heat liquid. So on heating forward reaction is favoured and amount of solid will decrease.
